What is Local Law 152?

Building gas piping systems except for gas piping systems classified in occupancy group R-3 must be periodically inspected – there’s no change here from the proposed rules.

When are inspections due?

In a big change from the originally proposed rules, inspections are now being organized by Community District – not borough.

To make sure buildings have enough time to prepare, the first cycle start date has been pushed from 2019 to 2020.

Inspections must be performed and submitted once every 4 years, with different due date cycles for four groups of Community Districts:

  • January 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021*: Community Districts 1, 3, and 10 in all boroughs
  • January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021: Community Districts 2, 5, 7, 13, and 18 in all boroughs
  • January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022: Community Districts 4, 6, 8, 9, and 16 in all boroughs
  • January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023: Community Districts 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17 in all boroughs
