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 Queens, 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 Queens: Local Considerations
Queens has a large stock of mid-century apartment buildings, from the elevator buildings lining Queens Boulevard in Rego Park and Forest Hills to large complexes like LeFrak City. Much of the exposed gas piping in these buildings was installed decades before Local Law 152 existed and remains in service today.
Newer buildings in Long Island City and Downtown Flushing follow the same four-year inspection cycle, since Local Law 152 applies based on building type and community district rather than the age of the piping.
When an inspection turns up a deficiency at the point of service connection, our team coordinates the next steps with the building’s gas utility, which in Queens can be either Con Edison or National Grid.
