One- or two-family building got an LL152 notice: what to check first
When an exempt-looking building still gets an LL152 notice, the first job is not to pay or file blindly. It is to confirm the official class, the record DOB is using, and whether the notice is aimed at the wrong property profile.
What this page covers
Check the record before acting
Use this page when the building looks like a one- or two-family property but the city notice still points you into LL152.
The practical question is whether the official DOF class, BIN, or BBL is wrong, outdated, or tied to a different property record than you expected.
Check DOF class before paying or filing
Compare the notice to BIN and BBL
Keep any exemption clue tied to the official property record
What this page covers
What to keep ready
Record conflicts are easier to sort out when the property identifiers, the notice itself, and the claimed exemption basis are all in one place.
This is often a record-cleanup problem before it becomes a filing problem.
Notice copy or violation reference
BIN, BBL, and property-class reference
Any city record or prior filing that supports exemption
Required sequence
What to prepare next
Check DOF class, BIN, and BBL before paying or filing against a notice that may be wrong.
Keep the exemption basis tied to the official record, not just to how the building looks.
Treat this as a record-verification problem before you treat it as a live filing obligation.
Decision boundary
Escalate before you continue when
The city notice and the property record still point in different directions.
The claimed one- or two-family exemption depends on a record that has not been verified.
A wrong assumption here could trigger the wrong filing, payment, or challenge.
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 looks exempt as a one- or two-family property but DOB or DOF records still point you toward an LL152 notice, filing, or penalty.

Best used whenThe next filing step is still not obvious.
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.
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.
