What is likely happening
Some cities require periodic inspection of building gas piping by a qualified inspector with the results filed; NYC's Local Law 152 is the best-known example. It is a compliance event rather than a fault.
What you can safely check
- Find your last inspection certificate or filing.
What an inspector will look at
- Exposed piping condition
- Leak survey
- Filing with the authority
Does this affect compliance?
In NYC, the cycle is set by community district.
When it becomes urgent
More urgent if your filing window is closing or you received a notice.
