Find the building’s inspection cycle, use a licensed master plumber, and keep the certification and correction trail together. Use the linked agency guidance and any property-specific notice to confirm the current requirement.
Who this requirement applies to
Local Law 152 applies to many buildings with gas piping, while one- and two-family homes and buildings without gas service may follow different rules or certification paths. Community-district cycles matter.
What the owner needs to manage
Use the current agency instructions to turn the rule into assigned, verifiable work.
- Confirm the building’s community district, gas-service status, and inspection cycle.
- Use a licensed master plumber or qualified person under the plumber’s supervision.
- Address unsafe conditions immediately and complete the owner certification or no-gas process as required.
When to act
The inspection is periodic, not simply annual. Use DOB’s current cycle schedule and FAQ to calculate the building-specific due window and any correction or certification deadline.
Records to keep with the property
A completion record should show what applied, who acted, what they found, and how the owner confirmed the result.
- Community district and cycle determination
- Gas-service or no-gas documentation
- Inspection report and plumber credentials
- Corrections, utility coordination, GPS2 certification, and DOB status
A common tracking mistake
Assuming “no active gas appliances” means the building has no gas piping can lead to the wrong filing path. Confirm the physical system and DOB requirements.
EstatesCheck can organize the task, messages, vendor work, documents, and follow-up by property. It does not decide whether the legal requirement applies or replace an agency filing system, licensed professional, or attorney.
