What Happens If You Miss the Local Law 152 Deadline in 2026?
If your NYC building is due for a Local Law 152 gas piping inspection in 2026 and December 31 is approaching too fast, you are not out of options. Here is what you need to know.
You Can File for a 180-Day Extension
Building owners may file for an automatic 180-day extension during any year in any inspection cycle. If your building is due in 2026, filing an extension moves your deadline from December 31, 2026 to June 28, 2027.
This gives you additional time to schedule and complete your inspection without immediately triggering a violation.
You can file the extension yourself using the DOB extension request instructions, or contact KeepMyGas and we will walk you through it.
What If No Extension Is Filed?
If December 31, 2026 passes without a completed will issue a Failure to File violation. Penalties are $5,000 per building information number (BIN). For qualifying 3-family residential buildings the penalty is $1,500.
For a full breakdown of how violations work and what your options are, see our guide to Local Law 152 violations.

Missing the December 31 deadline is stressful, but there are paths forward. The extension option exists specifically for situations like this, and KeepMyGas has helped many building owners work through late filings and violations to get back into compliance.
