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 64 days		Keep the report on file (not filed with DOB)

Local Law 84 · May 1 each year
What this is

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

Gas piping inspection (2028 cycle) Likely applies
Local Law 152 · During 2028
What this is
