How NYC Gas Laws Impact Licensed Plumbers, Engineers, and Building Owners
In 2016, a series of local laws established new regulatory oversight and mandatory inspections for natural gas systems across NYC. Since most of those laws have come into effect over the past year, we are often asked about the new requirements. We will present all you need to know about the new gas system requirements for NYC buildings.
Each webinar will cover specific stakeholder obligations and risk of non-compliance to local laws specific to natural gas systems.
