LOCAL SCOPE CONTEXT

What to check for waterproofing in Manhattan

This page exists because at least three catalog contractors offer the service and also have address-specific work in the borough. The service-specific count below is narrower.

The Manhattan records in this catalog divide into two practical building groups: prewar apartment and taller facade programs, and townhouse or rowhouse work. The recorded addresses reach from Greenwich Village and SoHo to the Upper East and Upper West Sides, Harlem, Hamilton Heights, and Washington Heights, so one borough label does not imply one construction system.

For waterproofing, diagnose the route of water first; compare joints, flashing, coping, drainage, below-grade conditions, compatible membranes, and termination details.

The current intersection lists 21 contractors that offer this work and have separate local evidence. Within that set, 6 contractors have this service named on projects at 12 confirmed buildings, including recorded landmark building, prewar apartment, high rise building types and named brick, limestone, stucco, brownstone materials. These are catalog observations, not a description of every building in Manhattan.

RESEARCHED LOCAL CONTEXT

Waterproofing Manhattan masonry and facade assemblies

A Manhattan “waterproofing” quote should identify the route of water, the wall or roof-edge assembly, and the repair interface. Coating a facade is not a substitute for diagnosing failed joints, coping, flashing, sealants, drainage, or concealed movement.

The local records on this page include masonry facades, roof and parapet rehabilitation, stone-panel work, and exterior renovation. Those are materially different assemblies. Compare a contractor’s experience at the component level rather than treating every project that uses the word waterproofing as equivalent.

Many Manhattan buildings also sit inside the FISP or landmarks review systems. Buildings higher than six stories require periodic exterior-wall inspection under FISP; designated properties generally require LPC review for exterior changes. Neither process proves that a proposed coating, membrane, repointing campaign, or flashing detail addresses the source of a leak.

What to put in the comparison scope

  • Map interior symptoms against exterior joints, sills, lintels, coping, parapets, roofs, terraces, penetrations, and below-grade conditions.
  • State what testing or probes support the diagnosis and how adjacent materials will be protected.
  • Specify preparation, compatible mortar or sealant, membrane or coating system, terminations, drainage, mockups, and acceptance testing.
  • Coordinate DOB permits, FISP status, LPC approval where applicable, access, public protection, and warranty exclusions.

ADDRESS-SPECIFIC DOB SCOPES

Compare the recorded work, not just the service label

These selected records name both a business and a specific scope at an exact address. Each summary separates what DOB records from questions to ask about your own project. They are not contractor endorsements or independently verified completed-project case studies.

  1. 614 West 152nd Street — Waterproofing above windows, behind the brick

    Recorded business: B&H Restoration, Inc.

    Recorded scope. DOB describes removing existing brick, installing new waterproofing above the windows, and reinstalling the existing brick. The record names B & H RESTORATION INC, license 007140. This is a localized exterior-wall intervention, not a filing for basement waterproofing or a coating over the whole facade.

    For your comparison. For a similar window-head leak, ask which brick must be opened, what concealed waterproofing and termination details are proposed, how the brick will be reinstated, and how the repair will be tested. The filing does not identify the product or detail: request those from the contractor rather than assuming them.

    Evidence limits. DOB reports Signed-off. That is an administrative record, not independent proof that the leak was resolved or that the workmanship or warranty met the owner’s expectations.

    Original JSON dataAbout the NYC DOB NOW approved permits dataset

  2. 116 West 22nd Street — First-floor stone panels and the assembly behind them

    Recorded business: NYC Building Solutions

    Recorded scope. DOB names NYC BUILDING SOLUTIONS CO, license 616799, for replacement of cracked first-floor stone facade panels with sintered stone panels on a rainscreen system. The scope also replaces the cement-board substrate, insulation, waterproofing, and vapor barrier, with energy-code compliance stated in the filing.

    For your comparison. This is an assembly replacement, not just a sealant patch. For comparable panel work, ask who designs the attachment and drainage details, how the waterproofing connects to adjacent openings and wall areas, and which layers are included in the price. Do not compare this scope directly with a brick-repointing-only quote.

    Evidence limits. The returned status is Permit Issued, not Signed-off. The record confirms the filed scope and named business, but does not establish completion, inspection acceptance, the final product selection, or a successful leak test.

  3. 457 West 125th Street — Coordinated roof, parapet and masonry waterproofing scope

    Recorded business: Shamas Contracting

    Recorded scope. DOB names SHAMAS CONTRACTING CO.INC, license 036843, on a combined scope covering roof replacement, waterproofing installation, parapet rebuilding, lintel and windowsill replacement, localized masonry and stucco repairs, coatings, and localized interior renovation.

    For your comparison. For a leak near the roof edge, use this as a reference for coordinating several trades and interfaces. Ask the bidder to separate roof work, coping and parapet work, wall repairs, and waterproofing tie-ins, and to identify who owns each transition. A broad filing is not a specification for the membrane or flashing.

    Evidence limits. The dataset still reports Permit Issued, with an expiry date of January 17, 2026. Treat it as work-history evidence, not evidence of a currently valid permit or a completed project. Check the current DOB job record before relying on its live status.
