Local Law 152 Gas Piping

Your building is on a recurring gas piping inspection cycle, and a filing is due.

What it is

Local Law 152 requires periodic inspection of exposed gas piping by a licensed master plumber, on a cycle determined by the building’s community district. The inspection produces a report, and that report has to be certified and filed with the Department of Buildings. Unlike a violation, this one is predictable — it is a deadline you can plan for, and missing it is what turns it into a violation.

If it’s left alone

  • Missing the filing deadline results in a penalty and an open condition on the record.
  • Unresolved conditions found during inspection require their own corrections and re-filing.
  • Non-compliance compounds across cycles if it is not caught.
  • Buildings can fall out of cycle entirely and need remediation to get back on schedule.
