Renovating here
If you own in one of the neighborhood’s co-ops, the co-op’s rules come first. Large co-ops usually have their own alteration process, approved contractor requirements and working hours, and some handle certain repairs with their own staff. Ask the management office for the alteration package before you collect quotes, so every contractor prices the same rules. Our guide to co-op alteration agreements covers the usual steps.
If you own a row house or a two-family home, you are the one dealing with the city. Work that changes plumbing, gas, structure or the use of a space usually needs a Department of Buildings permit filed by a licensed professional. Ask any contractor who will file it and include it in the written price. For roofs, windows and facades on older houses, ask to see recent jobs on similar buildings nearby.
Many of the contractors here are small firms based in the neighborhood. That can mean faster site visits and easier follow-up after the job, which is worth weighing alongside price.
