Compliance deadlines

RequirementDueStatus
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 50 days		Keep the report on file (not filed with DOB)
Annual property registration Check
HPD registration · September 1 each year
What this is

Residential buildings with three or more units, and one- and two-family homes the owner doesn't occupy, register with HPD every year ($13 fee). An unregistered building can't start a nonpayment case in Housing Court and faces civil penalties. Agency page

Sep 1, 2027
in 294 days		Registered through 2027-09-01
Gas piping inspection (2028 cycle) Likely applies
Local Law 152 · During 2028
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 1 is on the 2028 cycle; certification is filed with DOB after the inspection. Buildings with no gas piping file a certification instead. Agency page
