Rebate for new boiler

I have a neighbor, who is not a subscriber here, who recently got a replacement for her condensing boiler. The install looks good, But, neither of us know the picayune codes. She applied for a Nat’l Grid rebate ($1000). They want to inspect it first. She told me her contractor is NJ Licenced and she trusts his work, but he has no NYC licence. Will this make a difference for just a Nat’l Grid inspection? Or is this a Pandora’s box? It’s a lot of money.

She replaced an existing boiler, too. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll let her know.

We got $500 rebate but they didnt come an inspect. My plumber is NYC licensed. We called them anyway to come and inspect. They spend 5-10 minutes checking and turning on the heat per my dad I was not home. No permit need since it is replacing an existing boiler. Hope this helps.

Dont understand how a NJ licensed plumber could get a NYC gas permit, so while your friends install may “look good,” its likely not to code.

according to National Grid’s rebate terms and conditions: “6. Installation Requirements – All installations of heating and water heating equipment and boiler reset controls must be completed in conformance with
state and local code requirements by qualified contractors. ” My guess would be that a contractor who doesn’t have an NYC license isn’t a qualified contractor (but I have no direct experience with this). I don’t know whether the National Grid inspector would alert DOB to the fact that this work was not done by a NYC licensed contractor but given the issues with gas installations these days I’m not sure I would risk it for $1000. Consider the potential work without a permit fine that comes in around $6000….
