The motion court correctly determined that plaintiff was an unlicensed home improvement contractor and therefore precluded, pursuant to Administrative Code of City of NY §20-387 (a), from either enforcing the terms of its home improvement contract or seeking recovery under equitable principles, such as quantum meruit or an account stated (JRF Bros. Realty, LLC v. First Realty Bldrs., Inc., 51 AD3d 453, 454 [1st Dept 2008]; O’Mara Org. v. Plehn, 179 AD2d 548 [1st Dept 1992]).
