ManhattanShort answer
On the Upper West Side the typical call is water coming through a plaster ceiling from the apartment above, a riser or radiator leak in a prewar building, or smoke from a fire elsewhere in the building. Tell the super, shut the valve if the leak is yours, and call. Our crews start from West 100th Street.

Local conditions
Old buildings, original plaster
The blocks between Central Park West and Amsterdam Avenue sit inside a landmark district, and much of the neighborhood’s housing is a century old or more. That shapes the work: plaster ceilings that hold water, original moldings that boards want kept, and stacked bathrooms that send one leak through several floors.
What that means on a job: before anything is opened, we photograph the original plaster, cornices and trim, then dry the ceiling and walls in place wherever the readings allow. In a co-op, the managing agent gets the paperwork first, and every unit the water reached gets its own record for its own insurer.
The Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District, designated in 1990, is mostly housing built from the 1880s into the 1930s: row houses, tenements and apartment towers.

Where the work happens in Upper West Side
Between Central Park West and Amsterdam Avenue, row houses and prewar apartment buildings mean most jobs are leaks between floors. We dry plaster in place where the readings allow and repair it in plaster, so the ceiling matches the rest of the room.
Along Broadway, West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, larger co-ops and doorman buildings bring riser leaks, sprinkler and supply line leaks in renovated units, and board paperwork. We work through the managing agent and keep a separate record for every unit the water reached.
