Proof

How we back the answer.

01

Complete package, prepared front to back

Equipment cut sheets, noise ratings (typical indoor 19-30 dBA, outdoor 50-60 dBA), condenser placement, line-set route, COI naming the building and managing agent, and alteration agreement. Vinco assembles it; the owner submits.

02

DOB filing path included

Boards reject scopes that omit DOB filing where the building requires it. Vinco includes the filing plan with NYC DOB Contractor #022359 in the package, so the board sees the permit path before voting.

03

Vinco attends meetings when asked

Most clean packages clear without a board meeting. When the building asks for a walk-through, Vinco joins to walk the board through equipment, noise ratings, condenser placement, and the DOB path.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What does a Manhattan board want to see for a mini split?

Equipment cut sheets, decibel ratings (typical indoor 19-30 dBA, outdoor 50-60 dBA), condenser placement, line-set route, COI naming the building and managing agent, alteration agreement, and the DOB filing path. Most rejections come from a missing piece, not a hostile board.

How long does Manhattan board approval take?

Two to eight weeks is common, depending on the building and how often the board meets. Some boards review monthly, others quarterly. A clean, complete package speeds the review. A package missing COI or alteration agreement gets bounced and restarts the clock.

What sinks a Manhattan board approval?

Visible line-set on a landmark facade, condenser placement the board disallows, missing COI, missing noise rating, no alteration agreement, no DOB filing path where the building requires it, or a scope that conflicts with the alteration agreement language.

Does Vinco attend the board meeting?

Yes, when the building asks. Vinco can walk the board through equipment, noise ratings, condenser placement, line-set route, and the DOB filing path. Most approvals close without a meeting if the package is clean.

Does the board package work for both co-ops and condos?

The structure is the same: equipment, noise ratings, condenser placement, line-set route, COI, alteration agreement, DOB filing path. The legal language inside the alteration agreement differs between co-op and condo, but the technical package is identical.
