Fort Greene Electrician

Licensed electrical work for Fort Greene brownstones and rowhouses, co-ops and condos, and the restaurants and shops along DeKalb and Fulton.

The Fort Greene Historic District, designated in 1978, protects blocks of Italianate and brownstone rowhouses around Fort Greene Park. NGM Electric has completed 7 projects in Fort Greene and more in neighboring Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill and DUMBO.

Renovating a Fort Greene house usually means more capacity, a new panel and new wiring. We plan around original plaster and woodwork, file DOB permits under our license, coordinate Con Edison service work, and keep the house clean while we work.

FAQ

Fort Greene electrical questions

Do I need landmark approval to rewire my brownstone?

Usually not for interior work, though a licensed electrician must still file a DOB permit. Facade changes, like moving the meter or adding exterior fixtures, may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval.

Can you rewire while we live in the house?

Yes. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture, and restore power at the end of each day wherever possible.

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.
