According to the law itself, the failure to comply with Local Law 152 could result in a civil penalty entailing a sum of up to $5,000.

Josh from โ€œA Good Plumberโ€ was great. He assessed the boiler leak and explained what he would do. As the work progressed, it became a bit more complicated as there was also pipe corrosion. As I wasnโ€™t there, Josh kept me informed of everything and sent before and after pictures. Honest pricing and wonderful communication with Josh and Briana at the office. Thank you for everything!

Thomas Sobolow, like his father Warren, is not only a great plumber, but also an outstanding person. He came over to fix a leak in my steam pipe system, quickly assessed the situation, identified the various immediate and possibly long term issues, and agreed to address only the immediate issues, while alerting me to what might happen in the future. He was a pleasure to work with, and reinforced my loyalty to A Good Plumber.

Mauriciobisa real professional. Highly competent, polite, and told us exactly what to expect. He and his assistant to a wonderful job installing a hot water tank in a tiny, cramped space. We are very satisfied with their work, and will definitely recommend their company, A Good Plumber.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review and your business. Mauricio is an asset to our family.

Professional but on the expensive side. We replaced a valve in the toilet, replaced a toilet flow valve (which they detected), pipes under the kitchen sink that were corroded, cleaned out the bathroom waste pipe (slow draining) and fixed a leak under upstairs kitchen sink (needed a new connector) price was over 1k. But they were professional and had all the materials they needed. They inspected everything else to look for possible issues and they were prompt and communicative. They wore booties in the house and were very respectful of the space
After so many experiences with different plumbers I felt like they were worth it!
