“Last week, the New York City Council passed, by a vote of 47 to 1, a bill that would require installation of all gas-powered appliances to be completed by a master plumber, or a journeyman plumber working under their direct supervision — even where a new appliance is being installed in the same location as an old appliance with no change to the gas line. These installations are simple and routine enough that building superintendents typically handle them now. In the rest of the country, if you buy your new gas appliance from a big box retailer, the person who delivers it will also install it.”
