Every unit vents
into the same shaft.
In a building with a dryer in each unit, the lint doesn't stop at the wall — it collects in a shared riser that belongs to the building rather than to any one owner, which is usually why nobody has ever cleaned it. We clean every unit's line and the risers they feed, coordinate access with your super, and leave your board a written record of what was done. Brooklyn only.
Why it matters
The part of the vent nobody in the building can reach.
A house has one dryer and one run. A building has dozens of runs and one shaft — and the shaft is the part that isn’t anybody’s to clean until the board says it is.
Nobody owns the riser
Each unit's dryer feeds a shared shaft. Owners can only reach their own few feet of it, so the shaft keeps loading year after year — and in most buildings, it's never been cleaned once.
The complaints arrive first
Three cycles to dry one load. A warm, damp hallway. The unit at the top of the stack that never dries right. By the time it reaches the board, it's been going on a while.
It's the board's to answer for
The shaft between the units is usually a common element, which makes it the building's job rather than any owner's — and boards get asked what's been done about it by insurers, engineers, and shareholders.
And then there's the lint itself
A vent that isn't cleaned is the #1 cause of home dryer fires, and roughly 14,000 of them are reported to U.S. fire departments each year. Every unit in your building is a home — attached to all the others.
Dryer fire figures: U.S. Fire Administration and the National Fire Protection Association, whose “home” fire data covers apartments and condominiums as well as houses.
What we do
Every unit, and the risers they feed.
Dryer vent cleaning for Brooklyn condo, co-op, rental, and HOA buildings — every unit's line plus the shared risers and roof terminations they vent into. We coordinate unit access with your super and leave your board a written record of what was cleaned. Quoted after we walk the building. Brooklyn only.
- Lint trap, transition hose, and duct run cleaned in every unit we're given access to
- Shared risers and common lines cleaned, not just the unit-side runs
- Roof or wall terminations cleared and checked
- Airflow checked unit by unit after cleaning
- A written record of what was cleaned, unit by unit, for the building's files
- Photos of anything we find that the board should know about
- Unit access scheduled with your super or managing agent, including a return pass for units that weren't home
- Certificate of insurance sent to your board or managing agent before we start
Cleaning the units but not the riser is half a job
If your building has had this done before, there’s a good chance it was the unit-side runs only — that’s the part a technician can reach without a roof visit or a plan for the shaft. But the riser carries every unit’s lint rather than one family’s, so it loads faster than any single run, and leaving it is why the dryers got slow again a season later. We clean both, and we tell you what we found in each.
Access
Getting into the units is the actual job.
The cleaning is the easy part. Coordinating dozens of occupied homes is what makes a building job take a week instead of a day, and it’s the part that lands on your super if nobody plans it. So we plan it first.
A schedule your super can post
We give you a block of units per day with a time window for each, in a form you can put on the door and slip under it. Your building's own notice rules come first — tell us what they are and we'll build the schedule around them.
We come back for the ones who weren't home
Some units won't answer. That's normal, and it isn't a reason to bill you for a locked door. Missed units go on a return pass, and you only pay for units we actually cleaned.
One crew, in and out of each unit
We work the stack rather than wandering the building — a line of units, top to bottom, so residents on a given floor deal with us once. The whole visit is a lint trap, a hose, and a duct run per unit.
You get it in writing, unit by unit
Which units were cleaned, which weren't home, and anything we found that the board should know about, with photos. That's the document your board files, your agent keeps, and your insurer asks for.
Want the long version first? We wrote up how co-op and condo jobs actually go — board letters, certificates of insurance, freight elevators, shared shafts, and what tends to go wrong.
Pricing
We quote this one. Here’s why.
We publish flat prices for every residential service we offer — you can see them all on our pricing page. Buildings are one of the two we don’t, and we’d rather explain that than pretend otherwise.
An eight-unit walk-up with short wall runs and a sixty-unit building sharing two roof risers are the same service and completely different jobs. Four things move the number, and none of them can be answered from a web form:
- How many units, and how many actually have a dryer
- Whether the dryers are in the units, in a shared laundry room, or both
- How the risers run, and where they terminate — roof or wall
- How access will work, and what your building's notice rules are
So we walk the building, and then you get a firm number in writing — before any work starts, with no deposit and no obligation to say yes.
We’ll quote it the way you need to approve it. The whole building in one pass is usually cheaper per unit and easier on your super — but if it has to be the risers this year and the unit-side runs at the next budget, or a line of units at a time, say so. A phased plan that actually passes beats a perfect one that stalls in committee.
Brooklyn only — but not condos only
Two things worth being straight about. Building work is Brooklyn-only for now — we’d rather do one borough properly, on the unit-by-unit schedule these jobs need, than spread a small crew across five. Our residential dryer vent cleaning does cover the rest of NYC, Deal NJ, and the Five Towns, and if you’re just over the borough line, ask anyway — we’ll tell you straight rather than string you along.
But inside Brooklyn it doesn’t have to be a condo. Co-ops, rental buildings, HOAs and townhouse communities are the same work, and if you manage several buildings we’d rather talk about all of them at once. If your dryers are in a shared laundry room instead of the units, that’s really our commercial dryer bank job — same crew, and you can start right here either way.

I knew something was up when my clothing was taking forever to dry but when the check vent light went on I knew it was a fire hazard. Eyal responded to my text in minutes, booked an appointment on the spot for the next day and showed up on time. He didn't mind that I was standing over to watch the whole process and boy was it satisfying. I couldn't believe the lint that was living in the dryer, behind the wall and at the exit vent on the side of my house. This is not the DIY job you think it is. well worth the visit!
Eli from Ventpro was not only knowledgeable but also extremely kind. As a woman at home with a small child I felt super safe with Eli which is always a concern with people coming to service the home. He did the job, cleaned up afterwards and also left me with some great tips for our washer even though he came to fix the dryer. Will have him come back again and again.
Chinae A.Verified Google reviewAmazing service and very friendly serviceman. Very fair price compared to other companies, he went above and beyond removing a bird's nest from our pipe (as shown in the photos) and didn't charge extra from the price I was told over the phone. He also answers text messages which is a bonus. He came to the rescue very quickly, and he also resolved the issue in no time. He informed me that the landlord should be responsible for the payment. Highly recommend!
Shirly G.Verified Google reviewFantastic, professional service! Eyal provided excellent dryer vent cleaning, with options offered at fair pricing. A nice person too, being flexible when our schedule had to change due to circumstances beyond our control, accommodating all our needs on the day of our service.
Shari S.Google · Local GuideWe would definitely recommend Vent pro NYC. Eyal is very nice, professional, and accommodating. It is always easy to schedule an appointment with him and he does a great job. I can rest assured that my dryer vent is clean and safe after he leaves.
Muriel B.Verified Google reviewHe was so professional, and clean. This is a must for every household to do yearly!
Mariel D.Verified Google reviewMy dryer was taking 90+ minutes to dry a load of clothing. I wasn't sure if I needed a new dryer or just a good cleaning. Eyal came, right away I might add, and said he would check first to see if it's working because he wouldn't charge me for cleaning a broken dryer. Once he confirmed that my dryer was fine he went in and did a thorough cleaning. I can't believe the lint that was coming out of my dryer! He did an excellent job and will definitely recommend him and use him again!
SheriGoogle · Local GuideEyal was very professional. Arrived with all necessary equipment about 15 mins earlier than appointment time. Did a very good job and cleaned out our dryer vents. He took the time to explain how to maintain it and also cleaned up by vacuuming the debris. Very pleasant person to deal with. I have already booked complete duct cleaning with his company.
