The price I'm getting from a couple of different places are in the $9,500 - $11,000.00 price range. The building is on a busy commercial ave in g-slope, and according to them it costs more because the building is not on a side street.

I just had that repaired on my property and it cost me $600.00 to unclogg the pipe and install a new drain pipe, from the roof to the pipe that connects to the outside. This usually cost between $1200 - $1600 to do. depending on how tall your building is.

The expenses on the building are minimual. Taxes are $2,028, Insurance is $2,456.00 a year, Water $2,100, Gas 2,400, and electricity for common areas is $1,000 a year.
I am only going to finance $350,000.00 tops on this building at a 7.128% interest rate with Flushing Savings Bank. What do you think Dave?

The Park Slope house is across the street from an empty lot, its been like that for 22+ years. That house was recently renovated I would say 2 or 3 years ago. Take 25% off of the asking price.

You should charge the market rent for the unit, regardless of your tenants are having a baby or not. Business is business. I would suggest giving them a 90 day notice that the rent increase would take affect.

Posted by: Gowanus_Bklyn at November 21, 2008 12:42 PM in response to Yes, Virginia, There Are Parrots in South Slope

Alex Figalo fixed my broken pipe a few years back and it went well.
The city gives out three day notices that the homeowner has to jump to fix or get fined.
Alex came around in an hour, gave me a price, took my credit card and there were a team of workers on the job with all the permits the next day.
ConEd and the City gets in on watching the the digging and bothering the contractor, so it takes a capable foreman to keep on track and keep everyone happy.
The price is high but you need the experience and resourses to get this done right and quickly.
I was very happy with their work and hope that I don't have a need to use them again.

Posted by: oldtimer at November 19, 2009 12:12 PM in response to Broken Sewer Main

I used Alex Figliolia several years ago to replace the main sewer. He came (in a chauffered stretch MB) wihin an hour, followed up with an estimate, and started the next day. They were expensive, but very much worth it. Extremely professional, the quality of the work excellent. I had to use them again, 2 years later, to replace the water main, and had the same positive exeperience.

Well, we all know that one of the nicest homes in Brooklyn heights was owned by a plumber in Moonstruck.

He was able to buy furs for the mistress and take her to see LaBoheme at the Met as well.

Happened to me about 7 or 8 years ago. They had to dig up front garden, remove railing and dig part of sidewalk. It just took them the day. I used Harris Plumbing on Atlantic Ave and paid them $8,000. harriswatermainandsewers.com

Posted by: HurricaneKate at November 19, 2009 3:50 PM in response to Broken Sewer Main

I just used Figliolia for a new water main and they were quick and very professional. They coordinated with the City and took care of all the paperwork. It cost $4500 which was one days work for three guys. This seems exceedingly expensive but they were highly recommended by my regular plumber and they did exactly what they promised.

Sometimes its worth paying top dollar to get something done quickly and with minimal headaches.

Posted by: mopar at November 19, 2009 4:58 PM in response to Broken Sewer Main

Yes, Figliolia lives large as he was busted a few years back for extorting the city. That said, we used him on our water main replacement and they did a great job. Sewer main, I can't say.

However, a house on our block had a serious sewer problem last summer and Main Man was on the scene for days with little progress ( It was also one of those situations where city utilities were affected and it was probably more problematic than most sewer line upgrades). Main Man mostly had a bunch of guys standing around doing very little. After about ten days Figliolia took over and it was done very quickly.
