I need a DOB savvy plumber to help me close out a thorny open permit.

I bought last year in middle of the meltdown and even though there was an outstanding plumbing permit, I had no trouble with my mortage – didn’t even need to put money in escrow. But now I’m refinancing and I’m being told to take care of it.

It’s one of those instances where the work was done in 1999 and the original plumber retired and the next plumber lost his license, etc. No one is sure what really needs sign off, etc.

The original architect is expediting the job (since it was never closed out) but I’d love to hire a plumber to take over the plumbing portion and basically help me navigate the DOB process just so my closures are treated fairly. Any recs? Thx.
