LL152 GPS1 and GPS2 deadlines after inspection

After inspection, the work is not automatically done. The filing path still needs to match the actual inspection outcome and deadline sequence.

What this page covers

Use this page after inspection when

Use this page when the blocker is no longer whether the building is covered. The blocker is the after-inspection sequence, timing, or correction path.

The baseline DOB sequence is GPS1 within 30 days, GPS2 within 60 days, correction certification within 120 days, or within 180 days when additional time was requested.

  • Inspection completed but next filing is unclear
  • GPS1 and GPS2 sequence confusion
  • Correction timing is the real blocker

Required sequence

What to prepare next

  1. Track the inspection date first because GPS1 and GPS2 timing flows from that date.
  2. Confirm who will submit GPS2 in DOB NOW and who will receive GPS1 from the LMP.
  3. If correction work is required, calendar the follow-up certification deadline immediately.

Decision boundary

Escalate before you continue when

  • The inspection outcome still changes whether the next move is GPS2, correction, or another filing.
  • Nobody clearly owns GPS1 receipt, GPS2 submission, or correction follow-up.
  • The timing slipped far enough that the problem may now be penalty, waiver, or late correction handling.

Document basis

What the documents say

Verified 2026-04-14
  • 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.
Verified 2026-04-14
  • Leak surveys terminate at tenant spaces, but inspectors still take readings at entries to those spaces.
  • Unsafe and hazardous conditions such as gas leaks, illegal connections, and non-code-compliant installations require immediate notification to the utility, DOB, and the owner.
  • GPS1 is delivered within 30 days of inspection and GPS2 is submitted by the owner within 60 days through the DOB portal.
  • If a different plumber certifies corrections, that plumber must conduct another inspection.
  • Owners who cannot complete an inspection by the cycle deadline may request one 180-day extension per cycle.
Verified 2026-04-14
  • The 2026 amendment adds fees, clarifies one-time no-gas-piping certification, requires no-active-gas-service documentation every cycle, and adds the two-day inspection notification.
  • The rule states that a certification is not considered filed while it remains in pre-filing or quality-assurance-failed status.
  • The rule allows one 180-day extension for the inspection and related filing.
  • The rule text sets the civil penalty at $1,500 for a 3-family building and $5,000 for all other buildings.
  • Penalty-waiver categories include new owner, government ownership, bankruptcy, state of emergency, building conversion or misclassification, demolition, sealed or vacated building, no gas piping work in progress, no active gas service, and gas work in progress.

Guide Penalty context

LL152 penalty, extension, and waiver options

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.
