Many buildings this old run on steam or hot-water boilers with window or through-wall AC, so ductless mini-splits are the usual upgrade. Ask whether the job needs a DOB permit and who files it.

Do HVAC contractors need a license in New York City?

Heating, cooling and ventilation work that needs a permit is filed with the Department of Buildings as mechanical-systems work by a DOB-registered contractor. Oil burner installs need a DOB Oil Burner Equipment Installer license, gas piping needs a Licensed Master Plumber, and anyone handling refrigerant needs federal EPA Section 608 certification.
How can you check the license yourself?
