New York does not issue a statewide plumbing license that covers every city. Rochester requires a plumbing permit for new piping, water service, sewer, and water heaters that are not a like-kind replacement. The city's Bureau of Zoning and Permitting handles licensed trades. Greece, Irondequoit, Brighton, and Henrietta are different towns. Ask which credential has to be on the permit for this address. This page shows which Rochester plumbers AI assistants named most often across answers RecommendRadar ran and stored, how often each appeared, and the sources those answers cited.
