You need an LAA (Limited Alteration Application) permit filed with the Department of Buildings before installation begins. This permit ensures your installation meets NYC safety codes.
The permit process involves filing paperwork with DOB, scheduling mandatory inspections, and coordinating with building management for any required documentation. Many building management companies also require insurance certificates and contractor indemnification forms.
We handle the entire permit process for you. From initial DOB filing to final inspection sign-off, we coordinate all paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.

What safety measures do you take during gas stove installation?
Safety is our top priority. We shut off gas supply at the main valve before beginning work, remove all ignition sources from the area, and use professional-grade leak detection equipment throughout the installation.
After connecting your new stove, we perform comprehensive leak testing on all connections using soap solutions and electronic gas detectors. Every burner gets tested for proper ignition and flame characteristics, and the oven gets tested for temperature accuracy and safety shutoffs.
We also test your existing gas line for any deterioration or safety concerns. If we find any issues with your building’s gas infrastructure, we’ll alert you and your building management immediately to ensure everyone’s safety.
How long does gas stove installation take in Washington Heights apartments?
Most gas stove installations take 2-4 hours once permits are approved and we’re on-site. This includes disconnecting your old stove, installing the new gas range, testing all connections, and performing safety checks.
The permit and approval process typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on your building’s requirements and DOB scheduling. We coordinate timing with building management to minimize disruption and ensure all approvals are in place before installation day.
We work efficiently while maintaining thorough safety protocols. You’ll have your new gas stove up and running the same day we install it, with all documentation provided to you and your building management for their records.
