About the Suspected Gas Leaks Sign

HMC Section 27-2005(f), added by Local Law 153 of 2016, requires owners to post a notice in a common area explaining what tenants should do if they suspect a gas leak: leave, call 911 first, then call the gas company. The same notice goes out with every new lease and renewal, in English and Spanish.

It has been the most cited HPD sign violation every year since 2019. HPD allows it to be combined with the detector notices, so one sign can cover both rules once natural gas detector notices are due on January 1, 2027.

Where to post it

  • A common area such as the lobby or main hallway.
  • A paper copy with every lease and lease renewal.
