West Village Electrician

Licensed electrical work for West Village townhouses, small co-op and rental buildings, and the restaurants and shops along Bleecker, Hudson and Greenwich Streets.

Much of the West Village lies within the Greenwich Village Historic District, designated in 1969, and its Federal-era and 19th-century townhouses are some of the oldest homes in Manhattan. NGM Electric has completed 16 projects in the West Village and about 90 within a mile.

Townhouse renovations here often mean a new service, a new panel and a full rewire behind original plaster and woodwork. We plan the work to protect historic finishes, file DOB permits under our license, coordinate Con Edison service work, and keep exterior changes within landmark rules.

Before work starts

Permits, landmarks, and building rules

Interior electrical work in a landmarked townhouse usually needs only a DOB electrical permit. Work that changes the facade, such as moving a meter or adding exterior lighting, may also need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Co-ops typically require an alteration agreement and insurance certificate.

FAQ

West Village electrical questions

Do I need landmark approval to rewire my townhouse?

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

Can you rewire without opening every wall?

Often yes. We fish new wiring through existing cavities wherever possible and limit openings to what is needed, especially in rooms with original plaster and trim.

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.
