Local Law 152 was passed by the NYC Council as part of a GAS SAFETY package. It requires NYC building owners to have their building gas piping inspected. Josephine The Plumber has completed numerous gas inspections & has the specialty inspection tools and equipment. Visit www.GAS.nyc to read more.
LL152 inspections require the qualified gas piping system inspector to look for evidence of excessive atmospheric corrosion or piping deterioration; illegal connections; non-code compliant installations, as well as the following conditions which must be reported to the owner, utility company, and DOB immediately: gas leaks; illegal connections; non-code compliant installations; and any condition defined as “Class A” by the utility company, which is considered an imminently dangerous condition.
Within 60 days of the inspection, the OWNER must submit to the Department a Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification (GPS2) signed and sealed by the LMP who conducted or supervised the inspection. The GPS2 submission is to be completed by the Building Owner on the Department’s GPS2 submission web portal.
Failure of an owner to file an Inspection Certification before the applicable due date may result in a civil penalty of $5,000.00. Building owners are required to keep on file for ten years all reports and certifications and make them available to the DOB upon request.
Con Edison & National Grid require licensed master plumbers and their employees to be Operator Qualified for Inspections and/or maintenance/repairs on USDOT jurisdictional gas piping. Operator Qualification entails a 7-hour course and a written and practical examination. This also will require anyone doing such inspections and/or maintenance to take a drug and alcohol test and to participate in random drug testing. Click link below for more info:
