Local Law 152 Inspection Schedule

Most NYC buildings with gas piping must comply with Local Law 152, except one- and two-family homes and buildings classified as Occupancy Group R-3. Inspections are required every 4 years on a schedule tied to your building's Community District. Not sure if your building qualifies? Contact us and we'll confirm.

Most inspections are completed within a few hours, depending on the size of your building and the accessibility of exposed gas piping. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to tenants and building operations.

Yes — this is one of our most valued services. After the inspection, we prepare the GPS-1 report and submit the GPS-2 certification directly to the NYC Department of Buildings on your behalf, within the required 60-day window. You receive copies of everything for your records.

Failing to file a GPS-2 certification by your deadline can result in a civil penalty of up to $10,000, with an additional $10,000 added for each year of continued non-compliance. It's critical to schedule your inspection well before your Community District's deadline. Contact us today to avoid penalties.

The inspection covers all exposed gas piping from the point of entry into the building — including building service meters, gas piping in common areas, hallways, corridors, and mechanical/boiler rooms. It does not include gas piping inside individual apartments or units.

If issues are found, we document them clearly in the GPS-1 report and explain exactly what needs to be corrected. The owner then has 120 days from the inspection date to complete corrections and submit a follow-up GPS-2 certification. We help guide you through this process.

Non-compliance penalties are $10,000 per year ($1,500 for 3-family dwellings) and increase with each additional year — so acting quickly saves you money. Contact us to get started.
