Unlicensed Contractors
In the State of California, it is illegal for an unlicensed person to perform contracting work on any project valued at $500 or more in labor and materials. The Contractors' State License Board (CSLB) provides tools which can be used to verify license status and pending complaints, if any.
If you know that a contractor is doing unlicensed activity, you should report them to the City of Beverly Hills and CSLB.
