IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR NYC LL152 CYCLE 1

The NYC DOB has identified properties that have not yet completed their LL152 Cycle 1 inspections.  Non-compliant properties will receive violations and may be subject to further enforcement actions if they do not promptly address the issue. The DOB is actively enforcing the law. Building owners and managers are strongly encouraged to schedule their LL152 inspections as soon as possible to avoid potential violations and penalties. 

Regardless of your sub-cycle, you now have until December 31, 2023, to have a certification submitted; otherwise, failure to file a certification will result in a civil penalty of $5,000 issued to the current owner.  (Note: future inspections must occur in the appropriate years for your Community District) 

Failure to comply with LL152 not only puts your building, tenants, and staff at risk but also exposes building owners and managers to legal and financial liabilities. The DOB will continue to enforce LL152 and hold accountable those who do not meet the requirements. 

To look up your Community District, click here. After you have entered the address and are on the maps page, click on the Neighborhood Information link on the right panel. This will bring up the neighborhood information containing the Community District.

*Note: All buildings with an original compliance date of 2020 are due for their next inspection in 2024.

You are required to have a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP) perform an LL152 Gas Inspection or in the case of no gas, certify that there is no gas in your building. Both scenarios require the filing of the necessary paperwork with NYC DOB in order to be in compliance.

This inspection or certification is required once every 4th calendar year after your original compliance date noted below based on your Community District.

Buildings with gas piping  

Buildings with gas piping systems are required to have their gas piping systems inspected every four years and to submit a certification of inspection to DOB. To comply with this requirement, hire a Licensed Master Plumber to inspect the gas piping system and, within 60 days of the inspection, submit a Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification (GPS2) signed and sealed by the Licensed Master Plumber to DOB at nyc.gov/dobgaspipecert.  

Buildings without gas piping  

Buildings that do not contain gas piping are required to submit to DOB a certification that the building contains no gas piping. To comply with this requirement, hire a Registered Design Professional (a New York State licensed professional engineer or registered architect) or a Licensed Master Plumber to sign and seal the Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification (GPS2) and submit it to DOB at nyc.gov/dobgaspipecert.
