Yes, NYC requires permits for all gas appliance installations, and we handle this entire process for you. The Department of Buildings requires a Limited Alteration Application (LAA) for gas oven installations, which must be filed by a licensed professional.
We submit all necessary paperwork, including proof of insurance and contractor documentation that your building management requires. Most Nolita co-ops and condos also require alteration agreements, which we coordinate directly with your building.

NYC building code requires that all gas appliance installations be performed by licensed master plumbers due to safety concerns. Appliance store installers typically aren’t licensed for gas line work and can’t pull the required permits.
Gas installation errors can be dangerous and expensive to fix. Licensed master plumbers have the training and insurance to handle gas connections safely and take responsibility for code compliance.
Many appliance store installation teams are subcontractors who bid lowest, not necessarily the most qualified. When you’re investing in a quality oven for your Nolita kitchen, you want installation expertise that matches your appliance investment.
