RB Mechanical has been serving Greenwich Village and Manhattan for over 40 years. We’re a family business—Bobby and son Rob—who actually show up to do the work ourselves.
Greenwich Village residents know us for coming in under estimate, not over. We minimize wall damage during installations and leave your space cleaner than we found it.
The Village’s historic buildings and co-op requirements don’t phase us. We understand the neighborhood’s unique challenges, from narrow staircases in pre-war buildings to strict building management rules around Washington Square Park and NYU areas.
We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your kitchen layout and current gas infrastructure. No guesswork—we assess exactly what’s needed for your specific setup in your Greenwich Village apartment or townhouse.
Next comes the detailed cost breakdown before any work begins. You know exactly what you’re paying for, with no surprise charges or hidden fees that other contractors spring on you later.
The installation itself follows NYC building codes to the letter. We handle all necessary permits and filings with the Department of Buildings. Your gas line gets properly connected, tested for leaks, and inspected to ensure everything works safely.

Your gas oven installation includes proper gas line connection, safety testing, and code compliance verification. We handle the permit paperwork and building management requirements that Greenwich Village co-ops and condos require.
Greenwich Village’s older buildings often need specific considerations. Pre-war apartments around Washington Square might need gas line updates or special fittings. We know how to work within the Village’s historic building constraints without compromising safety.
You get long-term solutions, not quick fixes. The installation is designed to last, reducing future maintenance needs and ensuring your gas oven performs reliably for years in your Greenwich Village home.
Yes, NYC requires permits for gas appliance installations. The good news is that RB Mechanical handles all the permit paperwork for you through the Department of Buildings’ DOB NOW system.
We know exactly which forms need to be filed and when. This includes any special requirements your Greenwich Village co-op or building management might have, like alteration agreements or insurance certificates.
You don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. We take care of the permits, inspections, and compliance requirements so your installation meets all NYC building codes without you having to become an expert in city regulations.
NYC building code requires all gas appliance installations be performed by a licensed master plumber. This isn’t optional—it’s the law, and for good reason.
Gas is highly combustible. Even minor mistakes can have serious consequences, including gas leaks or carbon monoxide buildup. Licensed master plumbers have the training and expertise to handle gas connections safely.
Big box stores often use the lowest bidder for installations, not necessarily qualified professionals. When you’re investing in an expensive gas range, you want someone who knows what they’re doing and has the proper NYC licensing to do the work legally.
Most installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your existing gas line setup and any building-specific requirements. Greenwich Village’s older buildings sometimes need additional time for proper connections.
The timeline includes connecting the gas line, testing for leaks, and ensuring everything works properly before we leave. We don’t rush the safety checks—gas installations require thorough testing to prevent problems later.
If your building needs special permits or has co-op requirements, that paperwork gets handled beforehand so the actual installation day goes smoothly. We coordinate with your building management ahead of time to avoid delays.
Greenwich Village co-ops and condos often have detailed alteration requirements, and RB Mechanical knows how to work within these rules. We’ve been dealing with Manhattan building management for over 40 years.
We help you navigate alteration agreements, security deposits, and insurance requirements that your building might require. This includes providing certificates of insurance and any contractor indemnification forms your board needs.
The key is communicating with your building management before the installation. We work with you to submit all necessary paperwork and coordinate timing so there are no surprises or violations of your building’s policies.
Gas oven installation is completely safe when done by licensed professionals following NYC building codes. The city’s push toward electric is for new construction, not existing buildings with established gas lines.
Proper installation includes thorough leak testing and safety verification. Licensed master plumbers know how to work with both new and aging gas infrastructure to ensure safe, reliable connections.
Many Greenwich Village residents prefer gas for cooking because of the precise temperature control and instant heat adjustment. As long as the installation meets current codes and safety standards, gas ovens remain a viable option for existing buildings.
RB Mechanical stands behind our work. If there are any issues with the installation, we come back to make it right without additional charges for our workmanship.
We focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes, so problems after installation are rare. When they do occur, it’s usually something simple that gets resolved quickly.
You’re dealing with a family business that’s been serving Greenwich Village for decades. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers, so we make sure every installation works properly and safely from day one.
