Plumbing Built for Bronx Apartment Buildings, Houses and Landlords

The Bronx has more big apartment buildings run by landlords than any other borough, and a lot of them are old. The art deco elevator buildings along the Grand Concourse went up in the 1920s and 30s with one-pipe steam, cast iron stacks, brass and galvanized risers and a boiler room the size of an apartment. Six-story walk-ups fill Fordham, Kingsbridge, Norwood and Mount Eden with the same systems and no elevator. Those buildings generate more heat and hot water complaints to HPD every winter than anywhere in the city, and the plumber who keeps a landlord off that list is worth a lot.

The east Bronx is houses. Two-family brick and frame houses in Throgs Neck, Morris Park, Pelham Bay and Castle Hill from the 1920s through the 1950s, with basements, separate heating systems and pipes in crawlspaces that freeze. City Island is a fishing village with seafood restaurants and a flood zone. Riverdale is hills, single-family houses and postwar co-op towers with booster pumps to get water up the slope. Parkchester is a 1940s complex with thousands of units and its own way of doing things. Mott Haven and Port Morris along the Harlem River are new towers and converted warehouses on low ground.

NYC Plumber Co works across all of it. Our plumbers know a Grand Concourse boiler room from the sidewalk hatch, know that a frame house in Throgs Neck with a pipe in the crawlspace will freeze the first week of January, and know the Con Edison gas restoration process that follows every shutoff in this borough.

Sandy flooded City Island, Throgs Neck and Edgewater Park, the Bronx River and the Harlem River both come up in a hard rain, and the city's phase-out of heavier heating oils has pushed oil-to-gas conversions across the borough's older buildings. All of it lands on the plumber.

Timing Plumbing Work Around Bronx Buildings, Landlords and Heat Season

Landlords and management companies

Most Bronx calls come from owners and managers responsible for dozens or hundreds of apartments. They need a plumber who picks up, shows up, documents the repair and keeps the building in compliance. We work that way, with written findings the office can file.

Heat season and HPD

October 1 to May 31 is the season that decides a Bronx landlord's year. A boiler that fails in January means violations within days. We do the September service, the low-water cutoff testing, the vent tune-ups and the no-heat calls at night.

Co-ops in Riverdale and the east Bronx

Riverdale's co-op towers and the smaller co-ops in Pelham Parkway and Parkchester have boards, managing agents and certificates of insurance. We send the paperwork before the visit and we follow the house rules.

Distance and the Cross Bronx

The Bronx is far from Liberty Street and the Cross Bronx Expressway does not care. We schedule Bronx work in grouped windows we can keep, and emergencies get the nearest available plumber. Nobody is told 20 minutes when it is 50.

Boiler, Heat Season, Gas and Emergency Plumbing for Bronx Properties

Boiler repair is the Bronx business. One-pipe steam in hundreds of prewar buildings, hot water systems in the houses, oil burners still running in a lot of basements. Low-water cutoffs, pressuretrols, gas valves, circulators, vents, sections, near-boiler piping done wrong decades ago, oil-to-gas conversions and full replacements sized from the radiation.

Emergency plumbing 24 hours a day for no heat in an occupied building, burst pipes in frame houses and crawlspaces, sewer backups in low basements and no hot water in a rental.

Gas line repair, Local Law 152 inspections across the borough's apartment buildings, new gas services for oil conversions, commercial kitchen gas for restaurants, and Con Edison restoration handled from repair to turn-on.

Drain cleaning for building stacks packed with decades of grease, basement floor drains, house kitchen lines and the restaurant kitchens of Arthur Avenue, City Island and Fordham Road. Cable, jetter and camera, with scheduled jetting for buildings that keep backing up.

Water heater repair and water heater installation for buildings with central hot water off the boiler, houses with basement tanks, two-families with a unit per apartment, and the commercial heaters in restaurants and laundromats.

Pipe repair for galvanized risers that have narrowed to nothing in prewar buildings, cast iron stacks, frozen pipes in east Bronx houses, lead water services and the mixed materials of every basement bathroom added since 1950.

Sewer line repair for houses and buildings with laterals under front yards and sidewalks, low basements near the rivers, and the combined sewer that surcharges into cellars from Mott Haven to Soundview. Camera, DEP permits, replacement and backwater valves.

Leak detection in large buildings where a stain in one apartment has a dozen possible sources and the management office needs a report that says which one.

Toilet repair and faucet and fixture installation for apartment turnovers, house renovations and the volume repair work a landlord with 200 units generates every month.

Commercial plumbing for restaurants, markets, laundromats, warehouses, the Hunts Point market businesses and property managers with a portfolio of buildings, with backflow testing, grease trap service and maintenance agreements.

Emergencies, Repairs and a Simple Process in the Bronx

Bronx work is landlords, managers, homeowners and restaurant owners who need a plumber who does what he says. The process is built for that.

Call (929) 717-4784 or send the form. Tell us the building, the neighborhood and the problem. We give a window we can keep, the plumber arrives in it, diagnoses, and gives you a written price. The work is done, tested and cleaned up, with written findings for the management office. Filings and the utility process are handled by us.

For a building on the Grand Concourse, a two-family in Throgs Neck, a co-op in Riverdale or a restaurant on Arthur Avenue, call NYC Plumber Co at (929) 717-4784 or request your free estimate.
