Runwise Releases Definitive Local Law 157 Compliance Guide

The guide outlines what building owners and property management teams can do to prepare their portfolios to ensure compliance with Local Law 157, set to be enforced starting May 2025

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Runwise, a smart control platform that operates the key heating, cooling, electric, natural gas, and water systems more efficiently in 7,500 buildings throughout the country, has released a definitive Compliance Guide for New York City’s Local Law 157 (LL157) to assist property managers and building owners in achieving compliance. LL157 mandates the installation of natural gas detectors in all residences, including apartment buildings, houses, and hotels with natural gas connections throughout the five boroughs, with a compliance deadline of May 1, 2025.

Runwise’s Compliance Guide is designed to help building owners and property managers understand the requirements of LL157 and explore strategies for compliance, ensuring tenant safety, protecting investments, and maintaining the long-term value of properties.

Highlights from the Compliance Guide include:

  • Overview of Local Law 157
  • Importance of natural gas detection
  • Steps to achieve compliance
  • Addressing concerns about gas shut offs
  • Advice on how to choose natural gas detectors
  • Penalties for non-compliance
  • How to prepare for the future

By requiring natural gas detectors in all residences in New York City by May 2025, there could be a substantial uptick in the reported gas leaks to Con Edison. This could cause major issues for residents as Con Edison may turn off gas service in entire buildings while they investigate the leak, which could leave tens of thousands of NYC residents without gas for multi-year long periods,” said Lee Hoffman, president and co-founder of Runwise. We created the Compliance Guide for Local Law 157 to help building owners and operators, as well as property management teams, avoid any significant disruptions to their tenants by consolidating everything they need to know about LL157 in one place to help them achieve compliance before next spring.”
