We’ve been serving Manhattan properties since 1983, and we know Marble Hill’s unique challenges. The older buildings, the heating systems that take time to warm up, the mix of residential and commercial properties – we’ve seen it all.
Bobby and his son Rob aren’t just licensed master plumbers. We’re your neighbors who understand what it means to keep buildings running in this community.
When Marble Hill went through its major heating system upgrades with NYCHA, we were here helping property owners navigate the changes. We stay current with DOB requirements because your compliance depends on it.
We schedule your inspection during the January 1st to December 31st cycle, working around your building’s schedule. Our licensed inspector arrives on time with the proper tools and certifications.
During the inspection, we check safety valves, pressure gauges, fuel lines, and all critical components. We look for wear, corrosion, leaks, or any issues that could affect safety or efficiency. If we find problems, we explain them clearly and provide repair options.
Within 14 days of your inspection, we file the required BO-9 report with the NYC Department of Buildings. You get a copy of everything, and we handle all the DOB communication. If repairs are needed, we complete them and file the follow-up BO-13 paperwork within the required timeframe.

Your annual boiler inspection covers all H-stamped and E-stamped boilers in buildings with six or more residential units, mixed-use properties, and commercial buildings. We inspect low-pressure boilers that serve your building’s heating and hot water needs.
In Marble Hill, where many buildings date back decades, we pay special attention to older systems that might need extra care. We understand the heating challenges that come with the neighborhood’s unique geography and building stock.
Our service includes the physical inspection, detailed reporting, DOB filing, and any necessary follow-up inspections after repairs. We also provide violation removal services if you’ve missed previous deadlines and need to get back into compliance.
If your boiler fails inspection, we immediately notify you of the specific issues found and provide a detailed repair plan with transparent pricing. You have 180 days from the inspection date to complete repairs and schedule a re-inspection.
We handle the entire process – from the initial failed inspection report to the corrective work to the final BO-13 affirmation filing with the DOB. Our goal is to get your system back in compliance as quickly as possible while ensuring all work meets NYC building codes.
Most issues we find are preventable with regular maintenance, which is why we also offer ongoing boiler service to help you avoid problems before they become violations.
Our boiler inspection pricing is straightforward and competitive for the Marble Hill area. The cost varies based on the number of boilers, building type, and accessibility, but we provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees.
Compare our service cost to the potential fines: $300 minimum for late filing, up to $600 for extended delays, and $1,000 per boiler if you miss the entire cycle. Our inspection and filing service typically costs less than a single violation.
We include the DOB filing fee and all required paperwork in our service. Many property owners find our comprehensive approach actually saves money compared to hiring separate companies for inspection and filing.
The NYC boiler inspection cycle runs from January 1st to December 31st, but we recommend scheduling between September and November. This timing ensures you’re compliant before the heating season starts and avoids the December rush.
Early scheduling also gives you time to complete any necessary repairs before cold weather arrives. If we find issues during your fall inspection, you have months to address them rather than scrambling during peak heating season.
We send reminders to our regular clients and can schedule your inspection the same time each year. Many Marble Hill property owners prefer this approach because it makes compliance automatic.
Yes, NYC requires inspections to be performed by licensed professionals – either a licensed master plumber, licensed oil burner installer, or authorized insurance company inspector. We’re licensed master plumbers with decades of experience in NYC boiler systems.
Our licensing covers both low-pressure and high-pressure boiler inspections, and we’re authorized to file reports directly with the DOB. This means you don’t need to coordinate between multiple contractors or worry about whether your inspector has the right credentials.
We also stay current with all NYC boiler regulations and code changes, so you can be confident your inspection meets current standards rather than outdated requirements.
NYC requires you to maintain boiler inspection records on-site for at least six years. This includes the original inspection reports, any repair documentation, and proof of DOB filing. We provide you with complete copies of all paperwork.
We recommend keeping these records in a dedicated file that’s easily accessible during future inspections or DOB visits. Insurance companies may also request these records, especially if you file claims related to heating system issues.
Many property owners also find it helpful to maintain a maintenance log showing regular boiler service between annual inspections. This demonstrates ongoing care and can be valuable if issues arise.
Yes, we provide violation removal services for property owners who have missed deadlines or received DOB violations. The process involves completing the overdue inspection, addressing any safety issues, and working with the DOB to resolve penalties.
Late filing penalties start at $50 per month per boiler and can reach $1,000 per boiler for complete failures to file. While we can’t eliminate these fines, we can help minimize them by getting you back into compliance quickly.
We’ve helped many Marble Hill property owners resolve boiler violations and establish regular inspection schedules to prevent future issues. The key is acting quickly once you realize you’re out of compliance.
