Code: GPS2 (official form)
Description: This is a DOB form used to certify the results of a periodic gas piping system inspection in a building, as required by Local Law 152. It is also used to certify that a building has no gas piping when this is true.
Practical Meaning: For a NYC homeowner, this form is how you officially tell DOB that the required gas piping inspection was done and what the results were, or that your building has no gas piping at all. If the inspection found unsafe conditions, you must correct them and then submit an updated form within the allowed time or risk enforcement, penalties, or gas shutoff.
Where You May See It: You may see this form referenced on DOB notices of deficiency about missed gas piping inspections, on Local Law 152 guides, and inside the DOB online gas piping portal where you upload the completed certification. You might also see the file attached to emails from your plumber or filing representative after an inspection, or in your building records together with the inspection report (GPS1).
Why It Matters: If you do not file this form on time, DOB can issue violations or deficiency notices, which may lead to fines, enforcement actions, and pressure to complete inspections and repairs quickly. Using the form correctly helps you prove compliance with Local Law 152, avoid open issues on the building record, and reduce the risk of sudden gas shutoffs or problems during refinancing or sale.
