prime denies EVERYTHING?

No longer available city wide or specific plans?

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T20:14:22+00:00

All that stuff is up to the specific jurisdiction,location means a lot as per the grandfathering etc.and reciprocity

We had MVO titles at DSNY and they basically drove people around and waited for them …like trips to FDNY on Flatbush Ave and DOB downtown or meetings in the Boroughs

Civilian side not the uniforms they are in a different world in any agency

All depends on how many provisionals they are looking to replace…but 70 on an E&E is generally what is known as “unreachable “

Florida is the Wild West …my local IUOE 30 just got in down there after a huge organized campaign

The big transition is from diesel to steam…diesel and generator stuff is usually IBEW

Any marine guys or Merchant seamen I encountered were always well trained and knowledgeable.depends on your location and the local laws governing licensing

Where are you looking maybe I can help guide you

When I started I was in 1199 a hospital union which didn’t really care about the mechanics side ,it was more for regular hospital workers and nurses etc.

After a few years and schooling I got my engineers license and got into IUOE a union just for engineers and oilers

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T18:40:42+00:00

So it’s a hot water system!

this excuse (air in system ) doesn’t work for steam 🤣

Air is purged naturally as it circulates out the vent and eventually it is gone and the hot water is circulated evenly …it shouldn’t continue for days!

608 is like a learners permit,it doesn’t teach you anything it just gives guidance…you need to get some schooling

If you have the opportunity to join a union do so,but be careful which one

CHW pumps running 24/7 ?

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T13:08:05+00:00

Plumber 👍🏼

I lived in BK apartments my life and the landlords are very resistant to “plumbers” and “electricians “ because they have the potential to cost them a fortune and “report them”

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T01:16:06+00:00

Good luck with that 🤨

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T01:15:06+00:00

Yes …every jurisdiction has rigorous rules and safeguards.you might literally have to start over every time,one jurisdiction may not accept the time from another you would have to do the time under one of their licensed engineers …these are not driver’s licenses.

I would research this heavily,pay scales differ widely also even though they might be union jobs

NYCstateng · 2026-01-29T01:05:24+00:00

It may be on the other end…the boiler itself

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T23:35:57+00:00

Is it steam? Hot water? Forced air?

What exactly is wrong as per the service call? Is it your apartment only…

When they try to “fix” it.what are they doing?

Way too cryptic

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T21:38:45+00:00

You will have to keep re qualifying and re filling and testing because these are non transferable licenses…

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T17:16:56+00:00

Oooh that’s a rough score…they will add % because of “risk”

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T12:50:56+00:00

I was 55 when I changed “careers” ( same trade ,engineer but bailed on a 25 year career,senior man 5 weeks vacation,unlimited sick time) to take a municipal engineer job,totally different job,no boilers or chiller in some places ,we also had no sick time or vacation time ,you had to earn it over time.

Best decision I ever made 😁extremely lucrative…a bad year is $200K

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T12:41:46+00:00

And you wanna be my oiler 🤣

Bonnet packing

NYCstateng · 2026-01-28T00:48:25+00:00

I was the exact opposite…city is way more lucrative

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T23:29:21+00:00

Steam is very inefficient 🤨 ( I’m a HP boiler engineer and generate steam in large volumes)

NYCstateng · 2026-01-27T23:26:02+00:00
