Yes. New gas lines and most modifications require a NYC permit. We pull it and schedule the city inspection.
Almost always a line-sizing issue. The old boiler may have been smaller, and the existing half-inch line can't supply the BTUs the new unit needs. A resizing job is usually a half-day.
Yes. Commercial stove connections require a properly sized line and a flexible connector rated for commercial equipment. Standard plumbing fittings don't meet code.
Leave the space, don't use any electrical switches, call Con Ed (1-800-752-6633) to shut the line, then call us for the repair.
Local Law 152 requires periodic gas piping inspections by a licensed master plumber for most multi-family buildings in New York City. Buildings are assigned inspection windows based on community board district, and owners who miss their filing deadline face DOB fines that accumulate daily. The inspection covers all exposed gas piping, fittings, and connections from the meter through the building distribution — not just the boiler room. We perform the full LL152 inspection, identify any deficiencies, complete remediation work, and file the required report with DOB under the master plumber of record.
Every four years, on a cycle set by your building's community board district. The NYC Department of Buildings tracks compliance and issues violations for buildings that miss their inspection window. We can look up your building's current cycle and next deadline — call or send us the address.
