Nationwide Plumbers is a NYC Licensed Master Plumber (License #2023) serving Rego Park since 1984, with 24/7 emergency dispatch. We handle Local Law 152 gas inspections, gas risers, boilers, drain stacks and water heaters for buildings and homes. Call 718-748-2727.
Rego Park is largely made up of six-story and taller apartment buildings, many of them co-ops built from the 1930s through the 1960s along Queens Boulevard, 63rd Drive and the streets in between. South of Queens Boulevard and toward Woodhaven Boulevard are blocks of attached Tudor-style row houses and two-family homes from the 1920s and 1930s. The M and R stop at 63rd Drive-Rego Park and 67th Avenue.

Apartment buildings here carry central boilers, gas risers to every kitchen, and long drain stacks that collect from many floors. Co-op boards and managing agents need a plumber who can schedule around residents, provide insurance certificates and handle compliance work like Local Law 152 gas inspections. Homeowners in the row houses need the same quality on a smaller scale. We serve both with 24/7 dispatch.

Common plumbing issues in Rego Park
Gas risers in mid-century co-ops
Rego Park co-ops often run gas from the cellar to each apartment through vertical risers that are now many decades old. A leak found during an inspection or by the utility can shut gas to an entire line. Replacing a riser takes planning: access to stacked apartments, a pressure test, inspection and coordination for turn-on. We manage that process for boards and agents.
Kitchen and bath stack clogs
In a tall building, one drain stack serves a whole column of apartments. Grease builds up at the offsets and the lower units get the backups. We clear stacks from the roof or a cleanout, use hydro jetting where it helps, and inspect with a camera to see if corroded cast iron sections need replacing.
Row house laterals and house traps
The attached Tudor-style homes south of Queens Boulevard often still drain through original cast iron and clay to the street. Roots and settled joints cause repeat backups. We clear the line, check it with a camera and give you a written estimate for spot repair or replacement if the pipe has failed.

Plumbing in Rego Park: FAQ
How often does a Rego Park co-op need a Local Law 152 gas inspection?
Local Law 152 requires buildings with gas piping, other than one- and two-family homes, to be inspected by a licensed master plumber on a recurring cycle set by community district. We perform the inspection, prepare the GPS2 filing and correct any conditions found. See our Local Law 152 page.
How long does a gas riser replacement take?
It depends on the number of floors, access to apartments and inspection scheduling. We give the board a written plan and estimate before we start, keep residents informed and work to restore gas as soon as the system passes testing.
Do you handle no-heat calls for apartment buildings at night?
Yes. We dispatch 24/7 for boiler failures, burner lockouts and other no-heat problems, and we can put buildings on a regular maintenance schedule with annual boiler inspections to cut down on those emergencies.
