Mixed-use building LL152 coverage: what usually decides it
Mixed-use labels alone do not settle LL152. The practical question is what DOB and DOF records say the building is, whether the property is exempt, and which filing step follows from that record.
What this page covers
Start with the record
Use this page when a building looks mixed-use in real life and you do not know whether that helps, hurts, or changes LL152 coverage.
The practical answer usually comes from the official property class, BIN, BBL, and the record DOB is actually using for the notice or filing path.
Check DOF class before relying on a broad building label
Keep BIN and BBL ready when records conflict
Treat street-level use and legal class as separate facts
What this page covers
What makes mixed-use cases go wrong
Many owners assume the street appearance or lease mix answers the question by itself.
The better question is whether the official property record still points toward coverage, exemption, or a correction to the city record.
Do not assume mixed-use means automatic LL152 coverage
Do not assume residential units mean automatic exemption either
Do not ignore a notice conflict just because the building label sounds obvious
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Check the official DOF class before relying on a broad mixed-use label.
Keep BIN and BBL ready when the notice and the building story do not match.
Treat storefront use, residential use, and legal property class as separate facts.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
The building label sounds obvious, but the official property record is still unclear.
The notice may be tied to a different class or property profile than expected.
The next step still depends on whether the record points to coverage or exemption.
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 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.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
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.
This page is for owners who think 2026 is the live timing window and need a next-step framing before they verify the exact sub-cycle or filing date against the current DOB notice.
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.
