Gas shut off but piping remains: LL152 no active gas service case
Utility shutoff does not automatically move a building to the no-gas-piping side. If piping still exists, this usually stays a no-active-gas-service case and the documentation repeats by cycle.
What this page covers
Use this page when
Use this page when the utility shut off service but nobody can honestly say the building has no gas piping anywhere.
That usually means the building still belongs on the no-active-gas-service side until the piping condition truly changes.
Service is off but piping still exists
Utility paperwork exists but piping removal does not
The question is recurring documentation, not one-time certification
What this page covers
What to gather before filing
Keep the utility shutoff record, the building reference, and the owner statement together before you upload or submit anything.
This case goes wrong when a shutoff letter is treated as proof that piping no longer exists.
Utility documentation showing shutdown or deactivation
Owner statement that no gas appliances remain connected
Any facts showing piping still exists in the system
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Confirm that gas piping still exists before using the no-active-gas-service documentation path.
Keep the utility shutoff record and owner statement together before filing anything.
Do not let a shutoff letter stand in for proof that piping was removed.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
Nobody can confirm whether gas piping still exists in the building.
The shutoff record is clear, but the appliance or piping condition is not.
The case could still flip between recurring documentation and a different filing path.
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.
The utility statement for buildings without active gas service must include the last date gas was supplied and the date the building was fully deactivated from utility service.
Documentation for no active gas service is required every cycle rather than once.
Certification that a building has no gas piping is now a one-time submission and may come from a utility company.
Inspection entities must notify DOB at least two days before the inspection and use the cancellation workflow if the inspection is canceled.
Resolving a failure-to-file violation requires payment of the civil penalty and submission of certification or qualifying no-gas documentation.
A civil-penalty waiver request is available by email with supporting documents.
The amended fee schedule includes $35 filing fees for inspection certification, extension requests, and correction certifications, plus $375 for no-gas-piping certification and $480 for no-gas-service documentation.
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.
Decision basis
Why this page matters
Use this case page when the building no longer receives gas service but piping is still in place and you need the recurring documentation path, not the one-time no-piping certification.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
Use this page when gas piping still exists but the building no longer has active gas service and you need the recurring documentation path, not the no-gas-piping page.
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.
