I know many unlicensed electricians who do side work. They all say the same thing no permits or homeowner permits and paid in cash like they were never there. I laugh when they think that if there is a problem because they got paid in cash that they're somehow indemnified from being sued. Yeah you were never there but the customers Ring cam has you hauling a coil of Romex, a box of material, and your tool box through the front door. Tell that to the lawyers at the deposition.
There is so much unlicensed work here in NJ because the chances of getting caught are pretty slim. And then there's the licensed contractors who do jobs without permits. You really can't blame them because they are dealing with some highly incompetent inspectors who can erase their slim profit margins with nonsense some of which has been mentioned on this forum.
