Homes in New York City: what pros run into

Queens neighborhoods like Flushing and Jackson Heights mix garden apartment complexes, attached brick houses and detached homes. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 flooded basements and electrical equipment across Lower Manhattan, Red Hook, the Rockaways and Staten Island's east shore.

The city's Housing Maintenance Code requires landlords to provide heat from October 1 through May 31, with minimum indoor temperatures day and night. Older buildings may have slate or tile roofs, which call for specialized repair skills.

Wind-driven rain during storms can push water under worn shingles. Large prewar apartment buildings in Washington Heights and along the Grand Concourse often run steam heat from a single basement boiler.

Rules and utilities worth knowing

In New York City, home improvement contractors, roofers included, are licensed by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Check with the NYC Department of Buildings about permit requirements before re-roofing, especially in historic districts. After a big storm, roofers get busy fast, so a temporary tarp can protect the house while you wait for a full repair.

Questions from New York City residents

What causes roof leaks?

Worn flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights is a common cause, along with missing shingles and clogged gutters.

How do I know if my roof needs replacing?

Widespread curling, missing shingles, granule loss and repeated leaks are signs. An inspection can tell you more. Leaks that keep returning in different spots are another clue that patching may no longer be enough.

Which parts of New York City can you help with?

Our network reaches Jackson Heights, St. George, Astoria and Park Slope and the rest of New York City (10001, 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005 and others). Whether a pro can come depends on their schedule, and we will let you know quickly either way.

How often should gutters be cleaned?

At least once or twice a year, more if trees overhang the roof. Clogged gutters send water back under the roof edge and down the walls, so they matter more than they seem.

Whatever the job, the more detail you share up front, the smoother the first visit tends to go.
