Certified Boiler Inspectors NYC
We’ve been handling boiler inspections in Manhattan since 1983. We’re a third-generation family business—Bobby and son Rob—and we understand Midtown’s unique building requirements better than anyone.
When you hire us, you get the owners directly involved in your project. No subcontractors, no runaround. Just experienced professionals who’ve built our reputation on getting things done right.

NYC Boiler Inspection Process
First, we schedule your inspection during the January 1 to December 31 cycle when it works for your schedule. Our certified inspector arrives on time and conducts a comprehensive examination of your boiler system, checking safety valves, pressure gauges, fuel lines, and all critical components.
During the inspection, we document everything the DOB requires and test your boiler’s efficiency and safety systems. If we find any issues that need correction, we’ll explain them clearly and provide options for repairs before filing.
Within 14 days of your inspection, we handle all the DOB paperwork and filing requirements through their DOB NOW: Safety system. You get copies of everything, and we follow up to make sure your compliance is complete and your property stays violation-free.

Midtown Boiler Compliance Requirements
Your annual boiler inspection covers everything the DOB requires for commercial buildings, mixed-use properties, and residential buildings with six or more units in Midtown. We inspect low-pressure and high-pressure boilers, H-stamped and E-stamped systems, and any boiler over 100,000 BTUs located outside individual apartments.
In Midtown specifically, most commercial and mixed-use buildings require annual inspections regardless of BTU capacity. Our inspectors check your boiler room setup, safety devices, efficiency ratings, and ensure everything meets current NYC building codes.
We also handle the specialized requirements for SRO properties and mixed-use buildings that combine commercial and residential spaces. Each property type has specific compliance rules, and we make sure your inspection addresses all the requirements that apply to your particular building.
How much does a boiler inspection cost in Midtown?
Boiler inspection costs in Midtown typically range from $400 to $600 per boiler for external inspections with control testing, depending on your specific system and requirements. Internal inspections may cost additional fees based on complexity.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect. Our fees include the inspection itself, all required testing, and filing your report with the DOB within the 14-day deadline. No hidden charges or surprise bills.
The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the penalties you’ll face for non-compliance. Missing your filing deadline means $50 monthly penalties per boiler, and expired reports trigger $1,000 fines that can quickly add up across multiple units.
What happens if my boiler fails the inspection?
If your boiler fails inspection, we’ll identify exactly what needs to be corrected and provide clear options for bringing your system into compliance. Most issues are straightforward repairs that we can handle quickly.
You have 90 days from the initial inspection date to complete any required corrections. We’ll work with your schedule to make necessary repairs and conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure everything passes DOB requirements.
If corrections aren’t completed within the 90-day window, you’ll face additional penalties. That’s why we prioritize getting repairs done efficiently and filing your corrected report within all required deadlines to keep your property compliant.
Do I need both internal and external boiler inspections?
Most commercial and mixed-use properties in Midtown require annual external inspections, while internal inspections depend on your specific boiler type and construction. High-pressure boilers always need annual internal inspections performed according to DOB regulations.
Low-pressure boilers require internal inspections on a periodic schedule when construction allows access. Our certified inspectors will determine exactly which inspections your system requires based on your boiler specifications and building type.
We handle all required inspections during our visit and make sure you’re fully compliant with DOB requirements. If both internal and external inspections are needed, we coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your building operations.
How far in advance should I schedule my boiler inspection?
Schedule your boiler inspection at least 30 days before you need it completed. The inspection cycle runs January 1 through December 31, but most property owners schedule theirs in fall before the heating season begins.
Early scheduling ensures you get your preferred dates and allows time for any necessary repairs before winter. Waiting until late in the year can create scheduling conflicts and rush situations that nobody wants.
We recommend establishing an annual schedule so your inspection happens automatically each year. This keeps you compliant, spreads out your maintenance costs, and ensures your boiler system is ready when you need it most.
What documents do I need for the boiler inspection?
You’ll need your previous inspection reports, boiler maintenance records, and any documentation of recent repairs or modifications. We also review your boiler logbook and any insurance company inspection records if available.
If this is your first inspection with us, bring any manufacturer documentation, installation records, and previous DOB filings related to your boiler system. Having these documents ready helps us complete your inspection efficiently.
Don’t worry if you’re missing some paperwork. We can work with whatever documentation you have and help you establish proper record-keeping for future inspections. The important thing is getting your current inspection completed and filed on time.
Can you handle boiler inspections for multiple properties?
Absolutely. We work with property management companies and building owners who have multiple locations throughout Midtown and Manhattan. Managing inspections across several properties requires coordination and scheduling that we handle professionally.
We can establish inspection schedules for your entire portfolio, ensuring all properties stay compliant with their individual deadlines. Our system tracks each property’s requirements and reminds you when inspections are due.
For multiple properties, we often provide volume pricing and priority scheduling during busy seasons. Having one reliable company handle all your boiler inspections simplifies your compliance management and ensures consistent quality across all your buildings.
