Before you hire Fireprofing Corp of Ameri

  1. Confirm the record on the official site

    Our copy is from the state's file dated November 4, 2026. The official record is live and also lists complaints and discipline, which our data doesn't include.

    Search GC627714 on nyc.gov

  2. Make sure the name on the contract matches

    The contract, the permit and the license should all name Fireprofing Corp of Ameri or Joel Berkowitz. A different company name on the paperwork usually means someone else is working under this license.

  3. Check the license covers your job

    This is a general contractor (dob) license. If your job is a different trade, the contractor needs that license too, or a licensed sub for that part.

Is this your license, or is something wrong?

This status comes from New York City open data: DCWP home improvement contractor licenses (weekly) and the Department of Buildings' licensed trades and registrants (daily), file dated November 4, 2026, and it may have changed since. The official record is the one that counts. If it's wrong, the state has to fix it. If our page is the problem, or you want this record off our site, email us or see our corrections page.
