The Upper East Side has the most demanding buildings in the city to work in and some of the oldest plumbing behind the nicest walls. The 1920s co-ops on Park and Fifth Avenue were built by the best architects of the era with brass and galvanized piping that is now a century old, hidden behind plaster, marble and moldings that cost a fortune to open. Boards there enforce alteration agreements, wet-over-dry rules and, in many buildings, summer work rules that limit renovations to the months when residents are away.
East of Third Avenue the neighborhood changes. Yorkville's tenements on the side streets in the East 80s and 90s are the same five-story walk-ups as the East Village, with cellar boilers, galvanized risers and a top floor that never has pressure. The postwar white-brick buildings on Second and Third Avenue from the 1950s and 60s have their own generation of problems, brass valves that seize and copper that has started to pinhole. And the townhouses on the side streets between Fifth and Lexington are getting the full renovation treatment, with radiant floors, new gas services, indirect tanks and bathrooms on every floor.
NYC Plumber Co works across all of it. Our plumbers know how to open a Park Avenue wall in the one spot the leak detection instruments say to open it, know which Yorkville buildings still have roof tanks, and know that a townhouse on East 70th Street with a cellar boiler from the oil days is a conversion conversation waiting to happen.
The hospitals along York and First Avenue, the museums on Fifth and the retail on Madison round out the neighborhood's commercial side, along with the restaurants on Second and Third Avenue that keep the East 70s and 80s fed.
Many Park and Fifth Avenue co-ops allow renovation work only in the summer months, with a signed alteration agreement, an engineer's review and a licensed plumber's filing. Repairs happen year-round, but anything that moves a fixture waits for the window. We plan the scope with your architect so the plumbing is ready when the window opens.
A resident manager runs the building, and nothing gets past the service entrance without a certificate of insurance at the building's limits, which are usually high. We have it ready and we send it before the day.
9 to 4 on weekdays in most buildings, no work on holidays, sometimes no work on Fridays, and noise limits that make a jetter a scheduling question. We follow the house rules.
East of Third Avenue the rules relax and the plumbing gets older. Landlords, small co-ops and townhouse owners call with the same problems as anywhere in the city, and we treat a Yorkville tenement with the same care as a Fifth Avenue duplex.
Leak detection is the Upper East Side specialty. A stain on a plaster ceiling in a Park Avenue duplex has four possible sources upstairs, and the board wants a report before it wants a hole. Acoustic and thermal instruments, moisture mapping, a dye test on the neighbor's fixtures, one opening in the right place, and documentation the managing agent accepts.
Pipe repair for century-old brass and galvanized in the prewar co-ops, pinholed copper in the postwar buildings, galvanized risers in Yorkville walk-ups, and the repipes that a 1920s building eventually has to face one line at a time.
Faucet and fixture installation at the level Upper East Side renovations run: thermostatic shower systems, wall-mounted faucets, freestanding tubs, bidet seats, whole-apartment filtration, and the exact rough-in the manufacturer specifies before the marble goes on.
Boiler repair for townhouse boilers, small building boilers in Yorkville and the steam systems in the mid-size prewars, plus oil-to-gas conversions and indirect water heaters for the houses being renovated from the cellar up.
Gas line repair, new gas services and lines for townhouse renovations, Local Law 152 inspections for the co-ops and walk-ups, and commercial kitchen gas for the restaurants. Con Edison territory, LAA filings, pressure tests.
Water heater repair and water heater installation for apartments with individual heaters, buildings with central hot water, and townhouses with indirect tanks off the boiler.
Drain cleaning for prewar kitchen stacks, tub drains through lead traps, Yorkville tenement lines and the restaurant kitchens along Second and Third Avenue. Cable, jetter and camera, with the floors protected in a building that will notice a mark.
Toilet repair from the original fixtures in a prewar bathroom to wall-hung units in a new condo, with the low-flow requirements many boards impose on replacement.
Sewer line repair for townhouses and small buildings with their own house connection, with DEP permits and sidewalk restoration to the standard the block expects.
Emergency plumbing around the clock. A supply line failure in a duplex above three other apartments is exactly the kind of call that cannot wait until the resident manager is back on Monday.
Commercial plumbing for restaurants, shops, medical offices, private schools and the institutions along the avenues, with backflow testing and maintenance agreements.
Upper East Side work is precise work in buildings that expect it. The finishes are expensive, the boards read every document, and the neighbors notice. The process is built around that.
Call (929) 717-4784 or send the form. Tell us the building, the managing agent and the problem. The certificate of insurance goes out at the building's limits, the plumber arrives in the window with floor protection and drop cloths, diagnoses, and gives you a written price. The work is done, tested and cleaned up to the standard the building expects. Filings and inspections are handled by us.
