There's only 5 pipes running through there that's re-assuring! I'll suggest that to the plumber. Initially he's placing a clamp with a rubber stop over the pinhole. Come to think of it I'm sure it's similar to the thing we get with ro/di kits.

He will need access to my neighbors unit if the pipe itself needs replacing and access to the unit with the shutoffs as well. Fun times!
