If your NYC building does not have gas piping, you might assume that Local Law 152 (LL152) does not apply. But that’s not always the case. Even without a gas system, property owners still have an important obligation under LL152 that, if ignored, could result in costly penalties.
What LL152 Requires for Buildings with No Gas
Local Law 152 requires buildings without a gas piping system to submit a signed certification confirming this status. This form must be completed by a registered design professional (typically a licensed architect or engineer) and filed with the NYC Department of Buildings.
This step verifies that your building is compliant and avoids triggering a violation due to missing paperwork.

When Is the No-Gas Certification Due?
The deadline for this certification follows the same cycle as regular LL152 inspections. It’s based on your building’s community district, which is assigned a 4-year rotation. Missing the deadline could result in a $5,000 fine, much like skipping a gas inspection.

How to File the LL152 No-Gas Certification
- Confirm there is no gas piping system in the building
- Hire a registered design professional to inspect and certify the condition
- Submit the signed and sealed certification to the Department of Buildings by your district’s deadline
Don’t Assume You’re Off the Hook
If your building is exempt from an LL152 inspection because there’s no gas system, you still need to file the no-gas certification to remain compliant. Overlooking this step is one of the most common ways buildings end up with fines.
