LL152 due date lookup/GPS1 and GPS2 forms for Local Law 152

GPS1 and GPS2 forms for Local Law 152

GPS1 is the inspection report your licensed master plumber has to hand you within thirty days of the inspection. GPS2 is the certification you, the owner, file with DOB within sixty days of the inspection. Since 27 July 2026 both live in DOB NOW: Safety, and the GPS2 costs $35 to file.

Check a building

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.

Who does what, and when

The sequence, with the paragraph that sets each step.
StepWhoBy whenRule
Notify DOB the inspection is happeningThe plumber At least 2 days before§103-10(a)(6)
Perform the inspectionLMP, or a registered journeyman under direct and continuing supervisionBy 31 December of the cycle year§103-10(b), (a)(4)
Give the owner the report and the signed certificationThe plumber Within 30 days of the inspection§103-10(d)(1)
File the certification with DOBThe owner Within 60 days of the inspection§103-10(d)(2)

The row that catches people is the last one. The plumber does the inspection, signs and seals the certification, and hands it over. Filing it is the owner's job. Plenty of owners assume the plumber files it, and plenty of plumbers assume the owner knows they do not.

A note on the names. GPS1 and GPS2 are DOB's form labels. They are not in the rule. The rule says “an inspection report and a certification of inspection”. Worth knowing if you are ever reading the rule and wondering why the forms are not mentioned.

Only a licensed master plumber can sign

A registered journeyman plumber may perform the inspection, but the certification must be completed by “the licensed master plumber who performed or exercised direct and continuing supervision over such inspection”. §103-10(d)(1)(i).

Since 10 June 2026 the journeyman has to hold a journeyman plumber registration issued by DOB under article 409 of chapter 4 of title 28, and to have completed a DOB-approved training program of at least seven classroom hours. That replaced the previous arrangement where the master plumber documented the individual's experience. If you are hiring, this is a fair thing to ask about.

Where it gets filed, and what it costs

Everything goes through DOB NOW: Safety. That has been true since 27 July 2026. The old eFiling portal closed on 24 July 2026 and nothing was accepted on the 25th or 26th. The paper GPS2 is no longer required.

DOB's own owner-facing page still links the retired eFiling portal at the time of writing. If you followed that link and hit a dead end, that is why.

Filing fees under 1 RCNY §101-03. Adopted 3 January 2026, payable from the DOB NOW cutover in July.
FilingFee
Certification of the gas piping system periodic inspection$35
Extension request$35
Certification of correction$35
Inspection notification, property verification, unsafe conditions notification No fee

The certifications for buildings with no gas piping, and for buildings with piping but no gas service, carry their own and considerably larger fees. Those are on the exemptions page.

A filing stuck in QA is not a filing

This one is buried and it bites. The rule says DOB “will not consider for review” a report or certification sitting in pre-filing or Quality Assurance failed status, §103-10(d)(1)(iii). And §103-10(f) says plainly: “A certification is not considered filed if it is in pre-filing or Quality Assurance failed status.”

So submitting is not filing. If the submission fails QA on 28 December and nobody looks at the portal until January, the building is unfiled as far as the penalty is concerned. Check that the status actually cleared.

Two deadlines, not one

Almost every page about Local Law 152 talks about a single deadline. There are two, they are triggered by different things, and missing them costs you different things.

The cycle deadline. Your building has to be inspected by 31 December of its year. §103-10(a)(4) sets the year by community district. §103-10(f) is the civil penalty for not having the certification in by that date: $1,500 for a 3-family building, $5,000 for everything else.

The sixty-day clock. Once the inspection happens, the owner has sixty days from the inspection date to file the certification. §103-10(d)(2). File on day sixty-one and the rule says the filing “will not satisfy the requirement of this paragraph” and “will require a new inspection”. Not a fine. A new inspection, paid for again.

The two interact badly at the end of the year. Sixty days from a 1 December inspection is the end of January, but the penalty under (f) has already attached on 31 December. So the practical window is whichever is shorter. Inspect on 1 December and you have thirty days to file, not sixty. Inspect on the 20th and you have eleven.

This is the single most common way a building that did everything right still ends up with a violation. The plumber came. The work got done. The paperwork sat on someone's desk over the holidays.

Questions people actually ask

What is the difference between GPS1 and GPS2?

GPS1 is the inspection report the licensed master plumber gives the building owner within thirty days of the inspection. GPS2 is the certification of inspection the owner files with DOB within sixty days of the inspection. 1 RCNY §103-10(d)(1) and (d)(2).

Who files the GPS2, the owner or the plumber?

The owner. The rule puts the filing duty on the building owner. The licensed master plumber signs and seals the certification but does not file it.

Where do I file the GPS2?

DOB NOW: Safety, at nyc.gov/dobnow. All LL152 transactions moved there on 27 July 2026. The old eFiling portal closed on 24 July 2026.

How much does it cost to file the GPS2?

$35, under 1 RCNY §101-03. The fee was adopted with the 3 January 2026 amendment and became payable at the DOB NOW cutover in July 2026.

What happens if I file the GPS2 more than 60 days after the inspection?

The filing does not count and the building needs a new inspection. §103-10(d)(2) says a certification submitted more than sixty days after the inspection date “will not satisfy the requirement” and “will require a new inspection”.

Is a submission that failed Quality Assurance considered filed?

No. §103-10(f) says a certification is not considered filed if it is in pre-filing or Quality Assurance failed status.

Who made this

Our team at 02Launch.com builds AI into the workflows your managers already run. We made this page because DOB publishes the covered-buildings list as a spreadsheet, and matching a managed portfolio against it by hand is a day’s work.

What a 30 minute call with our AI engineers does for you:

  • Your portfolio out of your own system, not a paste. The lookup reads 250 lines at a time and forgets them when you close the tab. A build reads the buildings straight out of the system you already keep them in, so the list is never a stale copy and nobody re-keys it.
  • The filing window shrinks as the year runs out. The rule gives you sixty days after the inspection to file, and the year end caps it. Inspect on 1 December and you have thirty days, not sixty. Inspect on the 20th and you have eleven.
  • The rest of the calendar, not just this one. LL152 is one line. Facade, boiler and elevator cycles run on their own clocks in their own portals. The same build watches them and tells you when one moves.
