Permits, landmarks, and building rules

Electrical work needs a DOB electrical permit and inspection, which we file under our license. Interior work in the Jackson Heights Historic District usually needs only that permit, while exterior changes may need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Co-op buildings usually require an alteration agreement and insurance certificate first.

  • DOB electrical permit and final inspection filed by us
  • Exterior changes planned with landmarks rules in mind
  • Certificates of insurance sent to the managing agent
  • Con Edison applications started early for upgrades

FAQ

Jackson Heights electrical questions

Can my Jackson Heights co-op apartment get more power?

Often, yes. We check the feeder to your apartment and the building's service, then upgrade the apartment panel and feeder or plan a building upgrade with the board and Con Edison.

Do you work with co-op boards and managing agents?

Yes. We provide insurance certificates, follow alteration agreements and building work hours, and coordinate access to meter rooms and risers.

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.
