Adopted rule summary:

The rule amendment lowers the civil penalty amount for failure to file a certification of inspection of a building’s gas piping system for 3-family buildings. The civil penalty amount applicable to such buildings is lowered from $5,000 to $1,500. The lower amount is less of a hardship for owners of these smaller buildings (the smallest buildings that are subject to this requirement) yet still serve as a penalty for noncompliance. For larger buildings, the civil penalty amount for failure to file a certification of inspection stays the same.

    Why does this only apply to 3 family buildings and not 4, 5 or 6 unit buildings that experience the same financial hardships?

    I just paid $750 to a master plumber for this inspection which took less than 20 minutes including preparing the necessary forms. The fees and fines that the city imposes are overwhelming small business/building owners. A $5000 fine for missing this which would have been easy to miss is criminal
