When the boiler drops on the first cold night, every apartment knows it — and so does the board. Com+ Mechanical keeps multifamily, co-op, and condo buildings warm, cool, and code-compliant across the five boroughs, Nassau, Westchester, northern New Jersey, and Stamford. We work the way managing agents and boards need us to: documented, responsive, and accountable to occupied buildings full of residents.
Classic in one-pipe and two-pipe steam buildings: failed air vents, waterlogged returns, clogged traps, or a boiler short-cycling on a bad control. It generates the highest volume of tenant complaints in the building and often masks a plant running well above the Housing Maintenance Code minimum, wasting fuel to keep the cold apartments legal.
A down boiler in an occupied building is both a comfort emergency and a code exposure under the NYC heat-season requirements. Failed burners, low-water cutoffs, aquastats, circulators, or feed systems take the whole building offline at once — usually on the coldest night, when parts and crews are stretched thin.
Sleeve corrosion, seized fan motors, frozen coils, and dead compressors turn into a steady stream of unit-by-unit service tickets. Without a maintenance program these failures cluster at the start of cooling season and overwhelm the managing agent with individual complaints.
Many NYC residential buildings still run decades-old boilers — some on No. 4 oil being phased out citywide. As emissions caps tighten, an inefficient plant means both a climbing fuel budget today and a potential penalty exposure the board needs a capital plan for.
Failing storage tanks, mixing valves, recirculation pumps, or heat exchangers leave whole risers with lukewarm or no hot water. Because it hits multiple units at once, it escalates to the board fast and is frequently confused with a heating problem.
Failed corridor make-up air, dead rooftop exhaust fans, and blocked shafts trap cooking odors, moisture, and stuffiness in common areas — driving complaints, mold and condensation risk, and ventilation-code questions during inspections.
A multifamily building is not a single mechanical system — it's a central heating plant, a domestic hot water system, dozens or hundreds of in-unit terminals, common-area ventilation, and a lobby everyone judges the building by, all running over occupied apartments that cannot be shut down. Com+ Mechanical services the equipment NYC residential buildings actually run: one-pipe and two-pipe steam boilers, hydronic hot-water plants, PTAC and through-wall units, fan-coil and VRF systems, rooftop units over commercial ground floors, and the pumps, controls, and risers that tie them together. We understand the pressures a managing agent and a co-op or condo board live with — the NYC Housing Maintenance Code heat-season mandate, a fixed reserve budget, residents who call the front desk the moment a radiator goes cold, and Local Law 97 emissions caps closing in on the building's boiler. Every visit is documented for your records, your board package, and your compliance file, so the people who approve the spend can see exactly what they paid for.
From call to comfort in 4 easy steps
We survey the boiler room, domestic hot water system, in-unit terminal types, common-area ventilation, and controls with your super or building staff — and review the building's heat-season, inspection, and Local Law 97 status.
You get a documented scope and a maintenance, repair, or capital plan written for a board and managing agent: clear line items, photos, and priorities mapped to the building's reserve budget and approval timeline.
We perform scheduled maintenance and approved repairs with COIs and tenant notice handled, and back the building with 24/7 emergency response for heat, hot water, and cooling failures during occupancy.
After every visit you receive documented findings, photos, and equipment logs for your board package, reserve planning, and compliance file — so the board can see exactly what was done and what's coming next.
One-pipe and two-pipe low-pressure steam boilers serving radiators and convectors throughout the building — the dominant heating system in older NYC multifamily and co-op stock.
Hot-water boiler plants with circulators, zone valves, and baseboard or fan-coil distribution, common in newer buildings and post-conversion plants.
Through-wall PTACs, fan-coil units, and VRF indoor units that heat and cool individual apartments, plus rooftop units over commercial ground floors.
We service occupied multifamily, co-op, and condo buildings every day — central steam and hydronic plants, PTACs, fan coils, and common-area systems — not the occasional single-family install.
Single point of contact, documentation written for board packages and reserve planning, and a vendor your residents and staff can reach when something goes down.
One vendor for one building or a portfolio of buildings across the boroughs and metro — consistent documentation and coordinated scheduling for the entire managed book.
We service the plant with the heat-season mandate, DOB boiler inspections, and Local Law 97 emissions limits in view — and flag what the board needs to plan for next.
No fees. No surprises. Just honest service.
A planned maintenance program scoped to the building's boiler plant, domestic hot water, terminals, and common-area systems to cut emergency failures and hold the plant at efficient, code-compliant operation.
Approved repairs, aging-plant replacement, oil-to-gas conversions, and efficiency retrofits scoped for a board's reserve budget and approval cycle.
Around-the-clock response for the failures that can't wait in an occupied building — no heat, no hot water, and cooling outages.

Get answers to common questions about our services
Yes. In an occupied residential building, a down boiler or hot water system is an emergency the moment it happens — and during the heat season it's also a code exposure. We provide 24/7 emergency response across the five boroughs and surrounding metro for heat, hot water, and cooling failures.
Yes. We support managing agents and ownership groups with multi-building portfolios — giving you one vendor, consistent documentation, and coordinated scheduling across buildings and boroughs, whether each building has a central plant, in-unit PTACs, or a mix.
For most multifamily buildings the heating plant is the largest source of emissions, so it's central to Local Law 97 exposure. A well-maintained, properly tuned boiler burns less fuel today, and for aging or oil-fired plants we can scope conversions and high-efficiency replacements and show how they affect the building's emissions profile and penalty exposure so the board can plan capital around it.
Yes. We service the central steam or hydronic boiler and domestic hot water plant, the in-unit terminals — PTACs, through-wall units, fan coils, and splits — and common-area and corridor ventilation. One vendor covers the whole building instead of splitting it across trades.
We coordinate with your super, building staff, and managing agent on apartment and boiler-room access, certificates of insurance, and tenant notice before mobilizing.
We service and document the plant with the city's periodic low-pressure boiler inspection requirements and the heat-season mandate in view, and provide the records and photos that support your compliance file.
