Local Law 152 Gas Inspection Experts in NYC
Our Licensed Master Plumbers Will Inspect Your Gas Pipeline & Handle the Paperwork
Local Law 152 (LL152) is a gas safety law that makes the inspection of gas piping systems in residential and commercial establishments mandatory. Conducted by licensed master plumbers or supervised licensed plumbers, re-inspections are mandatory every four years.
Failure to conduct inspections by the end of a year can lead to a $5,000 fine.
At Zatos Plumbing & Heating, we have licensed master plumbers who will ensure you remain compliant with LL152. Our trained and certified gas inspectors use state-approved detectors and will also provide the necessary paperwork proving compliance.
What Properties Does Local Law 152 Apply To?
As per the code, gas systems in NYC buildings, bar those in buildings categorized in the R3 occupancy group, have to be inspected periodically. Buildings that contain two units and no more are exempt. These can include group homes and residences that house less than 20 occupants.
If you are uncertain where your property falls, check the Certificate of Occupancy.
Please note that all building owners have to keep inspection reports and certifications on file for 10 years and produce them for the DOB upon request.

Inspection Requirements
As per LL152, all exposed piping from entry points, including gas meters and pipelines in public and tenant spaces, have to be inspected by licensed plumbers in Queens or anywhere else in NYC. After the first inspection, another one must be conducted after four years periodically on the same date. Gas system inspections of new buildings must be conducted from the 10th year from the date on the Certificate of Occupancy.
During the inspection, our licensed & certified plumbers will search for the following:
- Pipe Damage & Corrosion
- Illegal Connections

- Internal Gas Leaks Using a Portable Gas Detection Device Approved by the New York State Department of Public Service (DPS)
