Permits, landmarks, and building rules

Electrical work in New York City must be filed with the Department of Buildings by a licensed electrician. Inside a landmarked house that is usually all you need. Exterior changes like new fixtures on the facade or a relocated meter may also need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval.

  • Clean, protected work areas in occupied homes

FAQ

Cobble Hill electrical questions

My house has mixed old and new wiring. Is that a problem?

Not always, but older sections such as knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wire are worth checking, especially before a renovation or if your insurer has asked. We can inspect it and recommend what to replace.

Do you work on carriage houses?

Yes. Carriage houses often need a new or upgraded service and rewiring when they are converted or renovated.

Can you do electrical work for a restaurant or shop?

Yes. We handle tenant fit-outs, dedicated circuits for kitchen equipment, lighting, and repairs for commercial spaces.

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.
