A general contractor that specializes in compliance problems
Plenty of contractors build kitchens and bathrooms. Fewer want to step into a job that has been stopped by the Department of Buildings, or a renovation that was finished years ago without permits. That is where TKO spends most of its time.
As a general contractor, we can look at the whole picture: the corrective construction work, the architect drawings, the electrical and plumbing permits, and the licensed trades that need to be involved. One point of contact keeps the job moving.
What we do as your general contractor
- Stop work order removal: help correct the conditions cited, get the right filings in place, and finish the job compliantly.
- Legalizing work done without a permit: drawings, filings, inspections, and corrective work where needed.
- DOB and ECB/OATH violation correction: fixing the underlying work and permit issues.
- Permit coordination and architect drawings: electrical and plumbing permits coordinated with the required licensed trades.
- General contracting and home improvement work on residential properties.
Our license, in plain terms
TKO Home Improvement operates under NYC Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) License #2096632-DCA, issued to Castellar, Segismundo DBA TKO Home Improvement. The HIC license covers home improvement work on residential buildings of up to four units. It does not replace DOB permits, and it does not replace the licenses required for trade work such as plumbing and electrical. That is why we coordinate those permits and work with the required licensed trades rather than claiming to be one.
Private contractor, not the City
We are a private business hired by property owners. We are not the NYC Department of Buildings or any City agency, and only DOB can rescind its own orders. What we can do is help you get the work and paperwork right.
