coop retaining unlicensed plumber for major workAug 12, 2015

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?

very interesting question; similarities to other - TinyBird Aug 12, 2015

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.
