According to NYC Local Law 2016-152, how often must building gas piping be inspected?

According to NYC Local Law 2016-152, the requirement for inspecting building gas piping is set at every five years. This regulation aims to ensure the safety and integrity of gas piping systems over time, reducing the risks of leaks, explosions, and other hazards associated with improperly maintained infrastructure.

Gas piping systems can deteriorate or become compromised due to various factors, including environmental conditions, changes in usage, or general wear and tear. By mandating inspections every five years, the law ensures that potential issues can be identified and addressed before they pose serious safety risks. The five-year interval allows sufficient time for thorough inspections while still being frequent enough to maintain a high level of safety in buildings that utilize gas for heating, cooking, or other purposes.
