LL152 applies to all buildings except one- and two-family homes and other buildings in Occupancy Group R-3.
DOB lists exempt DOF classes including A0-A9, B1-B3, B9, CM, M3 with 2 or fewer permanent dwelling units, M4 with 20 or fewer occupants, N2, S0-S2, and V.
Cycle 2 sub-cycle C covers community districts 4, 6, 8, 9, and 16 from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
If the building has no gas piping, a certification must be submitted and no further LL152 action is necessary unless gas piping is later installed.
GPS1 is due from the LMP to the owner within 30 days of inspection and GPS2 is due from the owner to DOB within 60 days.
If the building has gas piping but no active gas service and no appliances connected, the owner must submit utility and owner statements through the DOB portal.
DOB issues Cycle 2 violations against buildings that failed to submit GPS2 for the relevant sub-cycle.
The civil penalty is $1,500 for a 3-family residential building and $5,000 for all other buildings.
Challenge or waiver requests must be submitted within 30 days from the notice date in DOB NOW Safety.
The notice repeats the Cycle 2 sub-cycle map: A for districts 1, 3, 10 in 2024; B for 2, 5, 7, 13, 18 in 2025; C for 4, 6, 8, 9, 16 in 2026; D for 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 in 2027.
The notice directs owners of one- and two-family homes with classification issues to file an Exempt Building Notification.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
Use this page when the building already looks covered and the open question is what gets filed next, who acts next, and which document starts the sequence.
Penalty questions usually hide the real next-step problem: what can still be filed, whether a waiver path exists, and whether correction or certification support is now required.
Use this case page when a building has residential and commercial use and the main question is whether the official property record still puts it on an LL152 filing path.
Use this case page when a building looks exempt as a one- or two-family property but DOB or DOF records still point you toward an LL152 notice, filing, or penalty.
