Gas piping inspection (2026 cycle) Likely applies
Local Law 152 · During 2026
What this is

Buildings with gas piping (except one- and two-family homes) need a periodic gas piping inspection by a licensed master plumber every four years. Community district 6 is on the 2026 cycle; certification is filed with DOB after the inspection. Buildings with no gas piping file a certification instead. Agency page

Dec 31, 2026
in 60 days		Due this year
Annual parapet observation Check
Local Law 126 · By December 31 each year
What this is

If the building has a parapet facing a street, sidewalk or other public way, a competent person (such as a mason, engineer or architect) must observe it every year and the owner keeps the report for DOB on request. Detached one- and two-family homes are exempt. Agency page

Dec 31, 2026
in 60 days		Keep the report on file (not filed with DOB)
Facade inspection report (Cycle 10A) Applies
Local Law 11 / FISP · Feb 21, 2025 to Feb 21, 2027
What this is

Buildings taller than six stories file a facade inspection report by a QEWI once every five-year cycle. Tax blocks ending in 4, 5, 6 or 9 are in sub-cycle 10A. DOB facade records for this building show $720,000 in late-filing or failure-to-file penalties. Agency page

Feb 21, 2027

Building emissions report Likely applies
Local Law 97 · May 1 each year (extensions available)
