A shop on 11th Avenue.

Streamline Plumbing & Heating works out of 589 11th Ave, between 43rd and 44th, on the block where Hell's Kitchen runs into the Hudson Yards construction line. It is an unglamorous stretch of Manhattan and a very good place to keep a plumbing van: Midtown in five minutes, the Lincoln Tunnel in two, and the whole West Side inside a radius you can actually service.

01 / ORIGIN

Who we are

Licensed work, done the long way round.

New York makes plumbing hard on purpose. The Plumbing Code is strict, the Department of Buildings is exacting, and every co-op board in the city has its own alteration agreement. Most of what goes wrong on a job here is not technical — it is a permit that was never pulled, a certificate of insurance that never arrived, or a sign-off nobody closed out.

We built the business around that. The licence is real and it is ours. The permits are filed in-house, not handed to an expediter. The insurance certificates go out the same day the building asks for them. And the price you are quoted is the price on the invoice, because it was agreed as a flat rate before anyone opened a wall.

The result is unglamorous and deliberate: fewer surprises, fewer callbacks, and a paper trail that still makes sense two years later when the building refinances.

02 / CREDENTIALS

On the record

Licensed, insured, accountable.

Licence NYC DOB Licensed Master Plumber Licence #12320, held by Emigert Gjura. The licence holder is personally responsible for every permit filed under it — which is the point of the system, and the reason it is worth checking before you hire anyone in this city.

Insurance General liability & workers' compensation Full commercial general liability, workers' compensation and NY State disability. Certificates naming your building, managing agent and owner issued the same day.

Certification Certified backflow tester New York State certified for backflow prevention device testing, with annual certifications filed to the Department of Environmental Protection on your behalf.

Every licence and insurance certificate is available on request, before you book. A contractor who hesitates when asked for those is telling you something.

How we work

The commitments we will put in writing.

The quote is the priceFlat rate, agreed before work starts. If the scope genuinely changes, it is re-quoted and re-approved — never discovered on the invoice.

We say when we cannot helpIf we cannot reach you fast enough, or the work needs a different trade, you are told immediately rather than kept waiting on a maybe.

Code, not shortcutsWork is performed to the NYC Plumbing Code and pressure tested. Anything requiring a permit gets one, even when nobody would have noticed.

We leave it cleanFloors protected, debris removed, and the space returned in the condition we would want it left in. Occupied buildings deserve that much.

Warranty in writingLabour warrantied, manufacturer warranties registered in your name, and the documentation handed over rather than filed away in our office.

One number that worksThe plumber who did the job is reachable afterwards. No ticket queue, no repeating the story to someone new.
