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

Covered buildings file an annual greenhouse gas emissions report certified by a registered design professional. Buildings over their emissions limit owe penalties, so it pays to check early. Agency page

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.
