Top 10 Most Wanted Unlicensed Contractor Neil Brodsky Arrested

The Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) is pleased to announce that unlicensed contractor Neil Brodsky was arrested in Los Angeles County by the Culver City Police Department on Saturday, September 24.  Brodsky is being held on a no bail warrant pending extradition.  Brodsky actively posted advertisements on Craigslist for plumbing services, claiming to be a licensed contractor, using “Family Man” and “Licensed Plumber” in addition to other headings in his advertisements.  Brodsky was known for changing his advertisement frequently, using different aliases, and claiming to be affiliated with a named licensed company.

Brodsky was added to NSCB’s Most Wanted list February 9, 2010 for engaging in business or submitting bids without a license (NRS 624.700 violation), unlawful advertising (NRS 624.720 violation), and obtaining money by false pretenses (NRS 205.380 violation) among others.  Brodsky currently has three active warrants for his arrest (one felony, one gross misdemeanor, and one misdemeanor) with additional warrants pending.  NSCB has several complaints from Southern Nevada consumers against Brodsky that are currently being investigated. 

“Consumers should be commended for bringing forward their complaints against Mr. Brodsky,” said Margi Grein, NSCB executive officer.  “Our investigators worked closely with partners in other states to locate Mr. Brodsky and we couldn’t be more satisfied that one more unlicensed contractor is off the streets.”
