According to the NYC Local Law 152<\/a>, starting from January 1, 2020, gas piping systems in all buildings, except for buildings classified in occupancy group R-3, must be inspected by a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP), or a qualified individual working under the direct and continuing supervision of a LMP, at least once every four years according to the schedule set out in 1 RCNY \u00a7103-10.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Which buildings does the law apply to?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Building gas piping systems except for gas piping systems classified in occupancy group R-3 must be periodically inspected \u2013 there is no change here from the proposed rules.\u00a0As Per the code, occupancy group R-3 includes \u201cbuildings or portions thereof containing no more than 2 dwelling units,\u201d like convents and monasteries with fewer than 20 occupants, group homes, and 1 & 2 family dwellings. If you are unsure of your property classification, you can find your building\u2019s occupancy group on the Certificate of Occupancy<\/a>. You can also reach out to The Cotocon Group<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

<\/span>When Does LL152 Go into Effect?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In a big change from the originally proposed rules, inspections are now being organized by Community District \u2013 not borough.<\/p>\n

To make sure buildings have enough time to prepare, the first cycle start date were pushed from 2019 to 2020.<\/p>\n

Inspections must be performed and submitted once every 4 years, with different due date cycles for four groups of Community Districts:<\/p>\n

January 1, 2020 \u2013 December 31, 2020: Community Districts 1, 3, and 10 in all boroughs<\/p>\n

January 1, 2021 \u2013 December 31, 2021: Community Districts 2, 5, 7, 13, and 18 in all boroughs<\/p>\n

January 1, 2022 \u2013 December 31, 2022: Community Districts 4, 6, 8, 9, and 16 in all boroughs<\/p>\n

January 1, 2023 \u2013 December 31, 2023: Community Districts 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17 in all boroughs<\/p>\n

As the law says, each Community District listed applies to that number for all boroughs at the same time (CD 1 in Manhattan, in the Bronx, etc.). If you do not know which District your building is located in, reach out to our team.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What are the penalties for noncompliance?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

A building owner who fails to submit a certification required to be submitted\u2026on or before the filing due date specified\u2026will be liable for a civil penalty of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

<\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Depending on the type of building, the requirements of LL152\/2016 can be an inspection and certification, a certification only, or none. If you are unsure about the specific requirements for your building, or the assigned dates to submit the inspection report, you can get a professional opinion from The Cotocon Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n
