LL152 no active gas service: what DOB still expects each cycle
No active gas service does not mean no gas piping. When piping still exists, the answer stays filing-sensitive and usually needs utility documentation every cycle.
What this page covers
Use this page when
Use this page when gas piping still exists in the building but the utility no longer supplies active gas service.
This is not the same as the one-time no-gas-piping certification path.
Gas piping is still present
Service is off or fully deactivated
The building needs recurring-cycle documentation, not one-time no-piping certification
What this page covers
What DOB expects
This page usually needs utility-company documentation plus an owner statement that no appliances remain connected.
This answer stays recurring until the building condition changes.
Utility-company documentation for the service status
Owner statement that no gas appliances remain connected
Repeat the documentation every cycle until the condition changes
What this page covers
What still needs confirmation
If shutoff dates, appliance removal, or the piping condition are still unclear, the answer is not stable yet.
At that point the problem is no longer a simple documentation question.
Utility shutoff dates are unclear
Appliance removal is still unresolved
The building may still need inspection, correction, or another filing path
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Confirm gas piping still exists before using the no-active-gas-service route.
Collect utility documentation showing when the building stopped receiving gas service and the date the service was fully deactivated.
Keep the owner statement ready and plan for recurring-cycle documentation until the piping condition changes.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
You cannot prove whether gas piping still exists in the building.
Utility shutoff dates, owner statements, or appliance-removal facts are incomplete.
The case may still need inspection, correction, or another filing page beyond the recurring no-active-service documentation.
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 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.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
Use this page when the building truly has no gas piping and you need to know who can certify it, what to collect, and why the filing is different from no active gas service.
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.
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.
