LL152 exempt building notification: when the property record points the wrong way
This route is for record conflict, not guesswork. Use it when the property profile appears exempt but the official city record still drives the building into an LL152 filing or notice path.
What this page covers
Use this page when
Use this page when the building appears exempt because of occupancy or DOF class, but the city record or notice still treats it like an LL152 filing case.
The practical job is to verify the property record, not to assume the notice is right just because it was issued.
Use DOF class and official property-profile checks before assuming an exemption
Cycle 2 violation notices allow challenge or waiver requests within 30 days from the notice date
If a one- or two-family home is misclassified, use the exempt-building notification path rather than assuming the notice is correct
What this page covers
What usually drives this page
Most exemption conflicts come from the property record, not from the owner's memory of the building type.
One- and two-family notices, mixed-use confusion, and R-3 style classifications are the recurring reasons this route matters.
Check the DOF class before deciding whether to file or challenge
Keep BIN, BBL, and the notice copy together
Do not pay a penalty first if the exemption question is still unresolved
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Verify the official DOF class, BIN, or BBL before relying on an exemption answer.
Keep the property-record evidence ready if the city notice still treats the building as covered.
Use the exempt-building route before you pay or file against the wrong classification.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
The property record still conflicts with the notice or violation path.
You are relying on a broad building label, but the DOF class or official profile is not settled.
The exemption answer matters enough that a wrong assumption would trigger the wrong filing or payment response.
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.
Decision basis
Why this page matters
Use this page when the building looks exempt on paper, but DOB or DOF records still point the owner toward an LL152 filing, notice, or violation path.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
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.
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.
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.
