LL152 due date lookup/The Local Law 152 180-day extension
If you cannot get your building inspected by 31 December of its cycle year, §103-10(d)(6) lets you take a 180-day extension by notifying DOB and paying a $35 filing fee. It moves the inspection date and the filing clocks that follow it. DOB administers it as one per cycle and expects the request before the deadline. Neither of those two limits appears in the rule.
Paste a list of addresses or BBLs and get each building's community district, its sub-cycle, and the dates that lead up to its deadline, read from DOB's own covered-buildings list.
Open the due date lookupHere is the whole of §103-10(d)(6), because it is short and the detail matters:
Owners who are unable to obtain an inspection of a building's gas piping systems pursuant to this section by the date set forth in paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of this section may receive a 180-day extension of the due date for such inspection and the filing of any certification required to be filed after such inspection, upon notification to the Department in a form and manner determined by the commissioner and submission of a filing fee as specified in section 101-03 of the rules of the Department.
Read it twice and notice what is missing. There is no “one-time”. There is no “once per cycle”. There is no requirement that the request be made before the due date. There is no test you have to pass, no cause you have to show, no evidence standard. The condition is that you are unable to obtain an inspection, and the mechanism is notification plus a fee.
We checked the statute behind the rule as well, §28-318.3.7, added by Local Law 138 of 2021. Same story: 180 days, notification, no limit and no fee. The fee is a rule-level addition.
DOB's guidance page calls it a “one-time 180-day extension”. An earlier DOB service notice says “Only one 180-day extension can be requested by an owner”. DOB's July 2026 industry session says the request should come before the sub-cycle end date.
So the administration is narrower than the text. That is a normal thing for an agency to do and we are not suggesting anyone argue with it.
How to use this page. Plan on one extension, requested before your deadline, at $35. That is the operating reality. But if you are reading a vendor page that tells you “one-time” is the law, it is not, and if you ever find yourself in a genuinely unusual position the rule text is worth putting in front of someone who can act on it.
It moves two things: the inspection due date, and “the filing of any certification required to be filed after such inspection”. So the sixty-day clock and the correction clocks travel with it.
It does not move the cycle itself. Your next inspection is still due in your district's normal year. Taking 180 days in 2026 does not push your 2030 date.
It does not help with a condition that has already been found. Corrections run on their own deadlines and have their own extension request, which is also $35.
In DOB NOW: Safety, the same place as everything else since 27 July 2026. The fee is $35 under 1 RCNY §101-03, listed as the “filing fee for extension request to submit initial certification or extension request to correct conditions”.
One practical note. An extension costs $35 and takes minutes. A missed deadline costs $1,500 or $5,000. If you are looking at November with no plumber booked, the arithmetic is not close.
180 days, under 1 RCNY §103-10(d)(6). It extends the inspection due date and the filing deadlines that follow the inspection.
$35, under 1 RCNY §101-03.
DOB administers the extension as one per cycle and says so in its guidance and in an earlier service notice. The rule text in §103-10(d)(6) does not state a limit, and neither does the statute at §28-318.3.7. Plan on one.
DOB's July 2026 industry guidance says the request should be made before the sub-cycle end date. The rule text does not impose that condition. Request it before the deadline.
No. The four-year cycle for your community district is unchanged. The extension moves one deadline, not the schedule.
The rule requires notification and a fee. It sets no evidence standard and no cause test beyond being unable to obtain an inspection by the due date.
