This association consists of over 250 independent, licensed electrical contractors performing work throughout the five boros of New York City.

Dear New Licensee,

The Five Boro Electrical Contractor's Association is an association of licensed electrical contractors in New York City. We are an organization of about 300 members serving the special needs of licensed electrical contractors since 1957. We provide all members with a full range of valuable electrical information and support activities for your business.

— We provide active representation of the trade's interest in the current revision of NYC

Electrical Code and we also have representation on the New York City Advisory

Board and Code Interpretation Committee.

•  We challenge New York City and public utilities on issues that negatively impact licensed

electrical contractors.

•  We are the watchdog organization identifying unlicensed electrical contractors and report

work sites to the NYC Bureau of Electrical Controls (NYC BEC)

•  We conduct training seminars to educate our membership about new changes in the Code,

advances in technology, new products on the market, and general business survival techniques (including insurance assistance for general liability, worker's compensation and disability)

•  We provide a monthly forum for our members to be heard on matters of their individual concerns and provide a monthly report on all committee business. A free dinner and guest speaker enhance the evening.

•  We monitor the NY Board of Fire Underwriters for the 5 Boros in addition to Nassau and Suffolk counties.

We have a proven record of commitment to licensed electrical contractors. Our accomplishments include, but are not limited to the following:

•  Established a “due process” procedure at the License Board for all electrical contractors.

•  Provided opportunity to licensed contractors to hold multiple licenses and multiple occupancies.

•  Always at the forefront of maintaining low license fees.

•  Facilitated a Coalition Against Self-Certification to express concern over the City's intention to allow electrical installations to be “self-certified”.

•  Established a positive working relationship with both the NYC BEC and Con Edison inspectors.

We invite you to attend our monthly meeting, dinner included, on the third Tuesday of every month (except July and August).

However, if you care to join our organization at this time, please fill out the attached application and mail it to our office. This will automatically entitle you to a seat while your application is being processed. For further information, please call committeeman Ralph Barba (914)804-8383 or our office at (718) 846-1104.
