What Are Local Law 152 Subcycles?
NYC Local Law 152 gas piping inspections are required on a four-year cycle, based on your building’s community district.
To organize compliance, the NYC Department of Buildings divides buildings into four subcycles:
- Subcycle A
- Subcycle B
- Subcycle C
- Subcycle D
Each subcycle has its own inspection and filing deadline.
Why Your Subcycle Matters
Knowing your assigned subcycle is critical because:
- Missing your deadline can trigger a Failure to File violation
- Civil penalties will apply
- Delayed compliance can create issues for refinancing, insurance, or property sales
Even if your inspection is completed, missing the filing deadline can still result in penalties.
