We will be moving the location of our boiler and hotwater heater and replacing it with a modulating-condensing model when we renovate the rest of our kitchen. The heating contractor plans to pull a permit and have the job inspected. When the DOB inspector arrives to inspect this boiler installation will they also start checking out the rest of the renovation (or God forbid the rest of the house!) and hand out violations, etc.? The rest of the renovation is mostly cosmetic: sheetrock, tiles, cabinets, new plumbing fixtures. No walls will be moved, no changes to occupancy, etc. But the work also includes moving the sink and upgrading electrical, rewiring. Do I need to get permits for that? It’s a 2 family house. Thanks!!
