Our coop requires residents to retain plumbers for work inside the walls as per NYC law. However sometimes when there is an interior pipe leak, such as a toilet lead bend, they try to get the Super to do it. He is not licensed and often does a faulty job. Can we refuse him access to our apts for this kind of work on the basis it violation of NY laws and presents a hazard and demand a qualified plumber? The coop can deny access to unlicensed workers so why can't we?

I have often wondered myself how this would work. It would seem that in the case of a calamity the insurance company would go for recovery and that would point to the management who described the duties of the super. But, looking forward to a more qualified and expert answer as opposed to my speculation.
