About Remodeling in The Bronx
The Bronx is a borough of large apartment buildings: Census estimates place 60% of housing units in buildings of 20 or more units and only 6% in detached houses, and 20% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Among owners, 31% live in buildings of 20 or more units, often co-ops and condos, and many others own small multi-family houses. The housing is old, with 33% of units from 1939 or earlier and a median year built of 1955. Goodhaus is a free service that connects homeowners with independent contractors who serve the area.

Local Background
Good to Know About The Bronx
General background about the area, for information only. It is not professional advice.
Co-ops and condos
In large buildings, the board's or association's alteration agreement decides what can change and when, before any city filing.
Filed work
The NYC Department of Buildings says most kitchen and bathroom renovations need an ALT2 permit application filed by a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect.
Lead-safe rule
78% of units were built before 1980; under the federal EPA rule, anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 must be certified in lead-safe work practices.

Questions
The Bronx FAQs
Who can hold a plumbing permit in the Bronx?
In New York City, plumbing permits are issued only to a Licensed Master Plumber, and a Professional Engineer, Registered Architect or licensed plumber files for them before work begins.
What does a co-op board usually ask for?
Ask the managing agent for the alteration agreement; boards may ask for plans, the contractor's licence and insurance, a schedule and a deposit against damage.
What licence should a Bronx remodeling contractor have?
New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor licence from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection for residential remodeling work; check it before signing.
