What should you know about plumbing work in Harlem?
Harlem has about 61,895 homes, in buildings with an average build year of 1918. 60% of homes are in pre-1940 buildings, and 39% are in walk-up apartment buildings.
In the past 12 months the city issued 268 plumbing permits for work in Harlem, and HPD inspectors wrote 2,868 violations for leaks, drains and plumbing in rental buildings here (4th of 25 in Manhattan).
Older buildings like these often still have galvanized steel or cast-iron lines, so ask the plumber whether a leak is a one-off or a sign the riser or branch lines are due, and get the price for both in writing.

Do plumbers need a license in New York City?

How can you check the license yourself?
Ask for the master plumber's license number and look it up on the DOB NOW Public Portal or DOB's license search. Every permit in our listings was filed under a DOB plumbing license.
