New Ruling Limites Coverage Of Mechanical Trades Ordinance
Several councilmen Thursday night stressed the public misunderstanding of the new mechanical trades ordinance. Only bidders against others qualify as contracting and only those described as contractors are covered. The rule excludes day labor by handymen, repairmen, apartment owners, or housewives, who must not obtain a license for routine fixes like a leaky faucet.
