LL152 filing next step after inspection, GPS1, or GPS2

Once the building looks covered, the question is what gets filed next, who moves first, and which document sequence applies before DOB NOW.

What this page covers

Use this page when

The building is likely covered and the blocker is no longer applicability. The blocker is the next filing step, inspection path, or certification path.

DOB's current filing timeline is GPS1 to the owner within 30 days of inspection and GPS2 from the owner to DOB within 60 days.

  • You need to move from verdict to filing action
  • You need to know whether the gas-status split changes the paperwork
  • You need to know whether LMP help is now the right next action

What this page covers

Use a different page when

If the building truly has no gas piping, or still has piping but no active service, the no-gas split page is usually the better guide before you act.

  • No gas piping goes to a different next-step path
  • No active gas service still needs filing-aware confirmation

Required sequence

What to prepare next

  1. Confirm whether the building has no gas piping, no active gas service, or active gas service before opening the filing path.
  2. Collect BIN or BBL, the community district, and the owner contact that will receive GPS1 or certification follow-up.
  3. Escalate to LMP or filing help only after the branch is explicit.

Decision boundary

Escalate before you continue when

  • The building may actually belong on the no-gas-piping or no-active-gas-service page.
  • You still do not know who must act next: owner, utility, or LMP.
  • The page seems directionally right, but the next filing step still changes when new facts appear.

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.

  • 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
  • Owners of covered buildings submit GPS2 through the DOB online portal.
  • Buildings that do not contain gas piping still submit a GPS2 certification stating that the building does not contain gas piping.
  • The no-gas-piping certification may be signed and sealed by either a registered design professional or a licensed master plumber.
  • The NYC311 article still presents the baseline late-filing penalty framing as $5,000.

Decision basis

Why this page matters

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.

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.
