A local program may exempt tiling and similar finish work and like-for-like replacement of equipment (19 NYCRR 1203.3(a)(1)(v), (vii)); moving plumbing, adding circuits, moving walls, or adding a bathroom needs a permit. In New York City, repairing or replacing a fixture, piping, or faucet from the exposed stop valve to the trap inlet is an ordinary repair; relocating up to two fixtures within the same room up to 10 feet is ordinary plumbing work a licensed plumber may do without a permit, with monthly reporting and certification (NYC Administrative Code sections 28-105.4.2.1, 28-105.4.4). DOL Industrial Code Rule 56 requires an asbestos survey by a certified New York State asbestos inspector before renovation or remodeling; asbestos must be abated by licensed contractors except in an owner-occupied single-family dwelling where the homeowner does the work.
