Manhattan Boiler Services Since 1983
We’ve been serving Manhattan properties since 1983. That’s over 40 years of navigating NYC’s boiler compliance requirements, working with Central Park area buildings, and understanding exactly what the Department of Buildings expects.
We’re a family business – Bobby and son Rob – which means when you hire us, you get the owners doing the work. No subcontractors, no runaround, just experienced professionals who’ve seen every type of boiler system in Manhattan’s luxury buildings and commercial properties.
Central Park area properties have unique challenges with older buildings, strict co-op boards, and high-end expectations. We’ve worked with them all, from pre-war residential buildings to modern commercial spaces, always delivering the same careful, thorough service.
Annual Boiler Inspection Process NYC
First, we schedule your inspection during the annual cycle that runs January 1st through December 31st. Our certified inspector arrives at your Central Park property and conducts a thorough examination of your boiler system, checking safety valves, pressure gauges, fuel supply lines, and all critical components.
If your boiler passes, we file the BO-9 inspection report with the NYC Department of Buildings within the required 14-day window through their DOB NOW: Safety portal. You receive confirmation of filing and can rest easy knowing you’re compliant for another year.
If we find any issues that need attention, we provide you with a clear outline of what needs to be fixed and transparent pricing for repairs. Once repairs are completed, we file the BO-13 Affirmation of Correction report, ensuring your property meets all safety standards and compliance requirements.

Central Park Boiler Compliance Requirements
Your annual boiler inspection includes a comprehensive safety examination of all boiler components, testing of safety controls and devices, and verification that your system meets NYC Building Code requirements. We check everything from nameplate information to relief valves, combustion air supply, and flue pipe connections.
Central Park area buildings often have unique requirements due to their age, construction, and proximity to historic districts. We understand these nuances and ensure your property meets both general NYC requirements and any specific considerations for Manhattan’s Upper West Side location.
You receive complete documentation including the inspection report, any recommendations for maintenance or repairs, and confirmation of filing with the Department of Buildings. We also provide guidance on scheduling your next inspection to stay ahead of compliance deadlines and avoid the rush that happens near year-end.
Which Central Park buildings need annual boiler inspections?
Any building in the Central Park area with six or more dwelling units requires annual boiler inspection. This includes most co-ops, condominiums, and rental buildings common around Central Park West, Fifth Avenue, and the surrounding blocks.
Commercial buildings, mixed-use properties, and any building with H-stamped or E-stamped boilers also need annual inspections regardless of size. Even smaller buildings with boilers over 100,000 BTUs located outside individual apartments require inspection.
The key is whether your building falls under NYC Department of Buildings jurisdiction for boiler safety. Most Central Park area properties do, given the density and building types in Manhattan. If you’re unsure, we can quickly determine if your property needs inspection during a brief consultation.
What happens if I miss the annual inspection deadline?
Missing the annual inspection cycle results in significant penalties that escalate quickly. If you file your inspection report after the 14-day deadline but before January 14th of the following year, you face late filing penalties of $50 per month per boiler.
Reports filed after January 14th are considered expired, triggering the full $1,000 penalty per boiler. For Central Park buildings with multiple boilers, these fines can reach tens of thousands of dollars rapidly.
The inspection cycle runs January 1st through December 31st, but most smart property managers schedule inspections early in the year to avoid the December rush. We recommend scheduling by October to ensure plenty of time for any needed repairs and proper filing with the Department of Buildings.
How long does a boiler inspection take in Manhattan?
A typical boiler inspection for a Central Park area building takes 1-3 hours depending on the number of boilers and system complexity. Single boiler buildings usually complete in about an hour, while larger properties with multiple units may take longer.
Pre-war buildings common around Central Park sometimes require additional time due to older systems or accessibility challenges. However, we’re familiar with these building types and plan accordingly to minimize disruption to residents and building operations.
We schedule inspections at your convenience and work efficiently to complete the process quickly. Most importantly, we handle all the paperwork and filing requirements afterward, so your involvement ends when the inspection is complete. You’ll receive confirmation once we’ve filed your report with the NYC Department of Buildings.
Can you handle boiler repairs if violations are found?
Yes, we provide complete boiler repair services if our inspection reveals any violations or safety concerns. Our licensed technicians can address everything from minor adjustments to major component replacements, ensuring your Central Park property meets all NYC compliance requirements.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing for any needed repairs with detailed explanations of what’s required and why. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees – you’ll know exactly what repairs cost before we begin work.
Once repairs are completed, we conduct a follow-up inspection and file the required BO-13 Affirmation of Correction report with the Department of Buildings. This ensures your property is fully compliant and you avoid any ongoing penalties or violations that could affect your building’s status.
Do you file all the paperwork with NYC Department of Buildings?
Absolutely. We handle all required paperwork and filing with the NYC Department of Buildings as part of our boiler inspection service. This includes filing the BO-9 inspection report within the required 14-day window through the DOB NOW: Safety portal.
Many property managers find the DOB filing system complicated and time-consuming. We eliminate that hassle by managing the entire process electronically, ensuring accurate submission and proper documentation for your records.
You’ll receive confirmation when your report has been successfully filed, along with copies of all documentation for your files. We also track filing deadlines and can send reminders for next year’s inspection to help you stay ahead of compliance requirements and avoid any last-minute rushes.
