What should you know about plumbing work in Chinatown?
Chinatown, Two Bridges has about 17,754 homes, in buildings with an average build year of 1919. About 53% of homes are in pre-1940 buildings, and 37% are in walk-up apartment buildings.
In the past 12 months the city issued 82 plumbing permits for work in Chinatown, and HPD inspectors wrote 119 violations for leaks, drains and plumbing in rental buildings here (10th of 25 in Manhattan).
Older buildings like these often still have galvanized steel or cast-iron lines, so ask the plumber whether a leak is a one-off or a sign the riser or branch lines are due, and get the price for both in writing.

Do plumbers need a license in New York City?
