Moving in New York: what's different here
New York is a city of buildings, not houses: pre-war co-ops and condos, brownstones, and 1920s–1960s apartment stock where steam heat, risers and shared walls shape every repair.
What it costs here: Building rules carry more cost than labor here. Certificate-of-insurance requirements, elevator-protection fees, work-hour limits and doorman scheduling routinely add hundreds to a job.

Permits and rules in New York
The NYC Department of Buildings permits the work

Building access decides the schedule
Steam risers, water shutoffs and roof access need super or management approval, so get the building's rules in writing before a pro books the day.
