Gas Company Violation Removals in NYC Do you have a gas company violation in NYC? The gas pipes in your building are extremely important. They are what supply natural gas to your gas-using appliances, including water heaters, furnaces, stoves and dryers. The good news is that using natural gas often costs less when compared to electricity, but you must keep those gas lines in good working order, or you could find yourself with a gas company violation and a shutoff order until repairs are completed.
How Gas Company Violations Occur in NYC
The short answer is that someone complained to the gas company. However, most tenants don’t complain to the gas company right away. Instead, they usually go through the appropriate channels for your multi-unit tenant building in New York City. This means that your tenant or a visitor to your building smelled gas. Someone put in a maintenance ticket and waited for repairs. When those repairs never materialized, they finally felt they had no other option but to call the gas company. In order to avoid this scenario, it’s important to pay attention to maintenance ticket requests and have hazardous conditions corrected immediately.
What to Do if You Get a Gas Company Violation
When someone calls the gas company to report a leak, the company immediately sends someone down to the building to investigate. If the gas company employee smells gas, they are going to either shut off the gas to the particular line or the entire building and tag it as unsafe and hazardous. This is because gas leaks can trigger explosions with the smallest of sparks, and in order to ensure your building doesn’t explode and take half the block with it, they’ll shut off the gas and issue a gas company violation.
