Are landlords required to use licensed contractors to make renovations in the apartment that they are required to do every 3 years?
Things like painting the apartment, re-glazing the bathtub, etc.?
Thanks

And how does one enforce this requirement on landlords?
How can one find out if they are certified?

You move furniture in anticipation, you take a day off from work. They show up and you ask to see their EPA certification. Granted the LL is dumb or will play dumb.
What do you do?
