Local Law 152 of 2016: Periodic gas-piping inspections
Establishes periodic inspections of covered NYC building gas-piping systems, subject to the applicable exclusions, filing requirements, and inspection schedule.
New York City jurisdiction · Sources checked September 15, 2026. Law numbers repeat by year. These educational summaries are not legal advice or a complete compliance checklist. Later amendments, agency rules, building characteristics, and effective dates determine the requirements for a particular property. Use the linked City sources to confirm current obligations.
Why it matters
Gas inspection obligations differ from appliance servicing and utility work. Verify the building’s coverage, community-district cycle, licensed professional’s documentation, and any required corrective filings. The inspection scope must also account for later legislation, including Local Law 142 of 2025.
In practice
A project example
An owner finds a plumber’s invoice in the property file but still requests the inspection documentation and submission confirmation needed to establish the status of the periodic inspection.
