Code: GPS1 (official form)
Description: This is a DOB form used by a Licensed Master Plumber to report the results of a periodic gas piping system inspection under Local Law 152. It lists the conditions found on exposed gas piping in the building, including any unsafe or abnormal situations.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner, this form is the detailed report you receive after the Local Law 152 gas piping inspection, showing where the plumber checked and what problems, if any, were found. You should keep it with your building records, use it to plan repairs, and rely on it when preparing the follow‑up certification (GPS2) that must be filed with DOB.
Where You May See It: You may see this form attached to an email or letter from your Licensed Master Plumber after the inspection, or saved in your internal building files along with invoices and repair proposals. It can also be mentioned in Local Law 152 guides, on plumber websites, or in communication with DOB when they refer to the “inspection report” that supports your GPS2 filing.
Why It Matters: This form is your main proof of what the inspector actually saw, which lines were checked, and whether any gas leaks or unsafe conditions were present on the inspection date. If there are problems listed here and you ignore them, you risk gas leaks, service interruptions, emergency shutoffs, and violations or penalties connected to Local Law 152 requirements.
