I’m the founder and managing partner of HBNY Plumbing & Heating.
At a young age, I found plumbing systems fascinating and learned a lot about the trade from my father, as he was a big role model in my life.
I eventually followed my father’s footsteps by becoming a first-generation Licensed Master Plumber after 17 years in the trade.
Plumbing and heating systems are an integral part of enhancing the quality of all of our lives. To this day, I still get a lot of satisfaction out of helping homeowners and property management companies get their systems back in working order.
With deep roots in the New York City area, I attended Queensborough Community College and now live with my wife and french bulldog in Connecticut.
I love going on walks with my wife and dog, spending time with friends and family, and working on personal development by attending seminars and listening to audiobooks.
Personal growth is everything to me. It allows me to be the best man I can be for my wife, friends, and clients.
I look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
Please be advised that our LL152 inspection capacity is filling up quickly. Please schedule your inspection as soon as possible.
NYC Local Law 152 mandates gas piping inspection in certain buildings. While it is not required for every structure, it applies to about 280,000. This large number is part of the reason building owners must schedule their inspections quickly.
The NYC Department of Buildings did not adopt the law until its final version in 2019. Inspections under the law began in 2020. Each city district is on a four-year rotation. Every building impacted will have had its first inspection by the end of 2023.
Every building except those in the R-3 group (residential buildings with two or fewer families) must receive a Local Law 152 gas inspection.
The city is following a four-year rotation based on districts. Inspections must happen according to the following schedule:
Note that this schedule applies to districts in all boroughs.
After the initial LL152 inspection, buildings will be on a four-year rotation. The first inspection due date is December 31 of the mandated year. In subsequent inspections, your due date is based on the date of the first inspection. If your first inspection was on June 30, 2022, your next due date will be June 30, 2026. You cannot schedule your inspection more than 60 days before your due date.
According to subsection § 28-318.3.1 Inspection entity, “inspections of gas piping systems shall be conducted on behalf of the building owner by a licensed master plumber or by an individual under the direct and continuing supervision of a licensed master plumber, with appropriate qualifications as prescribed by department rule.”
Property owners with buildings in multiple districts may hope to consolidate the inspection schedule. Unfortunately, the DOB does not make exceptions to its scheduling rules. You will need to arrange an inspection based on the district schedule. This timing will continue in ensuing rotations.
Even if your building does not have a gas piping system, it must still comply with the law. Owners of such buildings will not need an inspection, but they must obtain a certificate from a registered design professional attesting that the building has no gas piping.
LL152 requires an examination of all exposed piping from the building’s point of entry. The inspector will check piping in boiler rooms and at service meters. Gas piping in public spaces such as hallways will also be examined. An LL152 inspection does not cover gas pipes in living areas or apartments.
Building owners who do not submit an inspection form could receive a civil penalty of $5,000. If you submitted your form on time, you have 30 days from the violation date to provide proof.
To avoid penalties, property owners must follow the DOB timeline for LL152 inspections and corrections.
