Since 2020, Local Law 152 has required NYC property owners who have an active gas piping system on their property to schedule inspections on a rotating, 4 year schedule. As of March 2022, the DOB has made scheduling inspections slightly more flexible with the possibility to request a 180-day extension on the deadline for completing your inspection and filing the necessary paperwork.

LL152 Extension Services at Empire Plumbing
The initial deadline for Local Law 152 inspections is December 31 of whichever year your Community District is scheduled in. For example, in 2023, Community Districts 11, 12, 14, 15, and 17 will had their inspection due by December 31, 2023. This is the last year in the 4 year cycle. In 2024, the first community districts to have their inspections will once again be due.
However, the city passed a law in 2022 allowing all property owners to request a single extension of 180 days to their LL 152 deadline for extra time to schedule and inspection and finish the paperwork submission process.
Property owners can request their extension online through the Department of Building website. Once you have filed your request, you can contact Empire Plumbing for the following services:
- LL152 Inspections – We will conduct the inspection that is required by the deadline in accordance with LL152 regulations. The inspection covers all exposed piping from the gas meter to the start of tenant spaces, however we do not need to go into tenant spaces. During this inspection, we are looking for any damage or corroded pipes, leaks, or unauthorized gas piping system installations.
- Report and Certification – After the inspection, we will provide you with a report of any issues that we discover in the rare case that we identified a problem. We will also provide you with the certification form that you will need to file with the DOB to prove that your inspection was completed.
- Local Law 152 Repairs – If problems are discovered during a Local Law 152 inspection, you must complete the repairs to bring your system up to code. As experienced plumbers, we can provide fast and effective repairs so that your system satisfies any requirements from the DOB and the utility.
- Local Law 152 Violations – If you have missed your deadline for a Local Law 152 inspection either during the initial inspection perior or after filing for an extension, we can complete the inspection as required.
Failing to complete your inspection by the end of your 180 day extension period, you could be liable for up to a $5,000 fine, making it important to remain aware of all deadlines and schedule your visit from our team as soon as possible.
