On the Upper East Side, the board approves the project first.
Upper East Side HVAC is co-op HVAC: nothing proceeds until the alteration package satisfies the board, and the contractors who thrive here are the ones who respect that order of operations.
The alteration package is half the job.
A co-op replacement starts on paper — drawings of exactly what changes, the insurance certificates the managing agent requires, equipment specifications the board's engineer can review, and a work plan that honors the building's hours and elevator rules. We prepare that package as part of the proposal, because an installation the board has fully understood is an installation that proceeds without drama. The mechanical work itself runs to the neighborhood's standards: through-wall units replaced sleeve for sleeve in the postwar buildings, ductless systems where boards have approved them, and the protection of hallways and finishes treated as part of the scope.
Scheduled across the bridge.
Projects are scheduled in advance with building management from our Clifton shop, staged so in-apartment days are few, and closed out with the paperwork the managing agent expects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Upper East Side questions, where the board approves the project first.
Will our co-op board approve a ductless installation?
Boards approve what they can fully evaluate. The alteration package we prepare shows the equipment, the routing, the exterior impact, and the insurance — the complete picture — and that preparation is the difference between approval and stalemate.
How do you handle building work rules?
As constraints we plan around from the start: approved hours, elevator reservations, protection requirements, and the managing agent's close-out paperwork are all built into the schedule in the proposal.
