$210.00 an hour is too much for one licensed electrician and two helpers. Figure $15.00 to $20.00 per hour for the helpers and $100.00 per hour for the electrician, not counting supplies. That's $130.00 to $140.00 per hour. Why does he need two helpers? Usually they work with one unless it's a big job.

That latch is easy to undo, flimsy piece of aluminum/coat hanger and swipe to the right or left to unlock.

i went to another brownstone. they have the same hatch. However theirs is fitted to the opening much better. So theirs i could not wiggle open.
With mine, the hatch is much bigger than the opening, so its possible to wiggle it around until the latches unhook, i did it one time in just a few seconds. I will probably try to find a handyman to rig up something so it fits tight and can't be wiggled.
as for the back door still no deadbolt, waiting on advantage locksmith, they seem to have decent prices but i can't give them a great rating (had some minor clumsy related problems with the install of the lock, then i believe someone broke in through the lock, and now i called saturday to have them come out and look at it and it looks like they won't be able to come until tuesday)

People, dont get cheap when it comes to the security of your home. Spend about 600 for a new steel scuttle roof hatch and have it installed by a qualified contractor. Make sure its approved for NYC use and by the FDNY. I purchased mine from a roofing supplier and had it installed.

I do recommend Mohamed did work in my house, 2 person for 6 hours and I paid 550.00 cash much less.
I got the referral from Brownstoner.
