Classifications & outcomes
The three results of a LL152 review.
LMP performed inspection, no defects or defects corrected, GPS1 form filed.
LMP observed unsafe condition (leak, defective shut-off). GPS2 filing triggers DOB response within 24 hours.
Past cohort deadline with no inspection filed. $10,000 penalty + ongoing DOB violation.
The cost of missing
LL152 penalties compound fast.
LL152 enforcement is largely administrative — DOB runs compliance sweeps based on filing status, not complaint volume. Once you're flagged, penalties apply until the underlying filing or condition is resolved.
Missed filing
$10,000 for failure to inspect + additional violations
Compliance failure
Immediate DOB response for unsafe gas conditions — possible vacate order
Deadline pattern: Community District cohort determines year. Certification due within 60 days of inspection.
What we monitor
How ViolationWatch tracks Local Law 152 for every building in your portfolio.
01
Auto-mapping per BIN
We resolve every building you add to its BIN, BBL, block, and lot — and check whether LL152 applies automatically.
02
Deadline calendar
4-year cycle; community-district-based cohorts is computed and calendared per building. Visible in the dashboard; reminders fire at 60, 30, and 7 days.
03
Filing status
We surface any existing LL152 filings on record, so you know before you start whether the building is current, due, or already in arrears.
04
Routing by role
LL152 reminders go to whoever owns compliance filings at your portfolio — property manager, asset manager, legal counsel, or the super.
05
Related violations
LL152 non-compliance commonly generates downstream DOB violations. When one appears, we correlate it to the underlying law automatically.
