NYC PLUMBING FAQ

Local Law 152 mandates the inspection of gas piping systems of all buildings once every four years. This mandate includes exposed piping outside and inside the building, in boiler rooms, in all amenity and common spaces, rooftop mechanical spaces, and publicly-accessible areas. If you neglect to submit a certified inspection, you can be liable for a civil penalty of $10,000.00.

Doyle Bros. Plumbing and Heating proudly services all five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

We recommend twice a year in the spring and fall.

Regular preventive maintenance keeps your building’s systems in good working order. Continual operation of your heating and plumbing systems results in unavoidable wear and tear. Bringing in Doyle Bros. to perform upkeep and look for small problems will save you money in the long run. A well-maintained plumbing and heating system will experience a longer lifespan, perform more efficiently, and help you avoid a major breakdown.

Here’s what the New York City Department of Buildings has to say as of November 2019 (which is the most current information we can find on their site via this Service Notice):

” Beginning January 1, 2020, gas piping systems in all buildings, except for buildings classified in occupancy group R-3, must be inspected by a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP), or a qualified individual working under the direct and continuing supervision of a LMP, at least once every four years according to the schedule set out
in 1 RCNY §103-10.”
