in a pre-war apartment - the T pipe inside the wall under a kitchen sink- the pipe that runs into that (not the U-bend, after the u-bend)- is this a job for the handyman or a licensed plumber?
thanks Mike - it is the nipple that runs into the T -trap - part inside the wall, part outside. I am afraid the coop might say it is my responsibility but it is rotted out and it seems to be at least party inside the wall.
If you were to update your kitchen, you need to take the grease line with nipple. In other words, this is shareholder responsibility. The cost is not that much and you will eliminate a headache.

The tee on the riser that is inside of the wall is a job for a licensed plumber.The handyman can change the trap and/or the nipple that goes from the p-trap to the tee. If you start having the handyman make these kind of repairs it could cost you more money then what your going to be saving.
