LL152 no gas piping vs no active gas service
These are not the same answer. No gas piping and no active gas service change the signer, documents, and repeat-cycle obligation.
What this page covers
No gas piping
Start here when the building truly has no gas piping. This is not the same as a building with dormant service.
Under the current DOB rule set, certification that the building has no gas piping is a one-time submission and may come from a utility company, registered design professional, or licensed master plumber.
Treat certification language carefully
Verify the current DOB guidance before assuming the submission type
Do not borrow the active-service filing path
What this page covers
No active gas service
When gas piping still exists, the building often remains filing-sensitive even if service is not active right now.
DOB now requires utility-company documentation for this scenario every cycle, plus an owner statement that the building no longer receives gas service and no appliances remain connected.
Keep piping presence in view
Use filing-aware confirmation before you call the route resolved
Check whether correction or certification support is still needed
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Use the no-gas-piping path only when the building truly has no gas piping anywhere in the system.
Use the no-active-gas-service path only when piping still exists but utility records show the building was fully deactivated.
Keep the utility statement, owner statement, and signer details ready before you submit anything through DOB NOW.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
You cannot prove whether piping still exists somewhere in the building.
Utility records, shutoff dates, or appliance-removal facts are incomplete.
The answer looks close, but you are still guessing between one-time certification and recurring-cycle 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.

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 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.
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.
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.
