Permits, landmarks, and building rules

Interior electrical work in a landmarked Chelsea rowhouse usually needs only a DOB electrical permit, while exterior changes may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Condo and co-op buildings typically require an alteration agreement and insurance certificate first.

  • DOB electrical permit and final inspection filed by us
  • Certificates of insurance sent to building management
  • Con Edison applications started early for upgrades
  • Commercial work scheduled around business hours

FAQ

Chelsea electrical questions

Can you add circuits to my Chelsea loft?

Usually. We check the panel and the feeder to your unit, then add circuits for kitchens, HVAC or workspaces, or upgrade the panel if it is full.

Do you work in galleries and showrooms?

Yes. We install and rewire track and display lighting, add power for installations and equipment, and can work outside opening hours.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We file the electrical permit with the NYC Department of Buildings under our license, #4876, schedule the inspection, and coordinate any Con Edison work the job needs.

What does a service call cost?

Service calls are $295 for the first hour of diagnosis or repair and $110 for each additional hour. Emergency service is $450 for the first hour.

“Mike was honest and reminded me about fixtures having to be UL listed for my building which literally delayed me hiring him. Then George comes on the appointment date and does a great job. He was courteous, friendly and didn't leave a mess. Price was the best of 3 bids I received. All around satisfaction.”
