Local Law 152 Inspection Services
New York City’s Local Law 152 requires gas piping systems in most buildings to be inspected by a Licensed Master Plumber once every four years. The inspection covers exposed gas piping throughout the building and must be filed with the Department of Buildings as a Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification.
Our team performs Local Law 152 inspections for buildings across the Bronx, identifying any leaks, corrosion, or code issues in the exposed gas piping and filing the required certification with the Department of Buildings on your behalf.
Missing a Local Law 152 inspection deadline can result in DOB violations. We help property owners and managers stay ahead of their building’s inspection cycle so compliance never becomes a last-minute scramble.
How Often Does Local Law 152 Require Inspection?
Local Law 152 requires gas piping inspections once every four years, with the exact deadline determined by the building’s community district. Buildings classified as one- or two-family homes are generally exempt, but most other property types, including multifamily and mixed-use buildings, are required to comply.
Local Law 152 Inspections in the Bronx: Local Considerations
Pelham Parkway, the Grand Concourse, and Parkchester are lined with prewar and mid-century apartment buildings whose exposed gas piping predates Local Law 152 by many years. For these buildings, the four-year inspection is a regular chance to check piping that has been in service for a long time.
Age does not change the inspection schedule. Large developments like Co-op City and recent construction in Mott Haven and Port Morris file on the same community district deadlines as the borough’s prewar buildings.
Deficiencies found where the building’s piping meets the Con Edison service line are followed up with Con Edison directly, since it supplies gas to every building in the Bronx.
