NYC Permit for Boiler Replacement

Is a permit required in NYC if a homeowner is replacing an existing boiler and water heater in the same location where it is currently?

A Master Plumber recommended it However, it costs $2500 for the permit.

I currently have a hot water boiler and a separate water heater. Am looking to install the Navien combi boiler.

Any insight or resources regarding whether a permit is required?

Thanks!

    As I read the regulations, you are not an in-kind replacement, so I'd say yes you need the permit. Some of the folks who work in New York City may comment.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    You need a permit to replace a gas boiler of any kind in NYC. There are basically two levels of permit: OP-128 and LAA. The "LAA" is the higher level of filing which is for moving or reconfiguring gas piping or in buildings with 6 or more units. That is a simplified explanation but it probably covers your purposes. If your installation does not require significant gas pipe reconfiguration then your OP-128 (Ordinary Plumbing-128) should cost a few hundred bucks. But then again, there are some variables.
