If you own or manage a building in New York City, staying compliant with Local Law 152 (LL152) is critical. This law mandates periodic inspections of gas piping systems to prevent leaks, ensure safety, and protect building occupants. Here’s what you can expect during the LL152 inspection process.
What Is Local Law 152?
Local Law 152 is part of a broader effort by NYC to improve gas safety across the city. Enacted in 2016, this requirement mandates that buildings in certain community districts undergo gas piping inspections every four years. These inspections must be performed by a licensed master plumber or a qualified individual under their supervision.
Who Needs an LL152 Inspection?
Most buildings with gas piping are required to comply, but there are exceptions. For example, one- and two-family homes are typically exempt unless they fall under specific criteria. If your building has a gas piping system, you’ll likely need to schedule an LL152 inspection.
