Emergency Gas Leak Protocol (Safety First)

Natural gas is treated with mercaptan to create a distinct sulfur/rotten-egg odor. Gas leaks pose an immediate explosion hazard.

Critical Safety Actions:

  1. Evacuate Immediately: Leave the premises without turning light switches on or off, and do not use landline phones or appliances.
  2. Call Emergency Services: From a safe distance outside, contact 911 and your utility provider (Con Edison at 1-800-75-CONED or National Grid at 1-718-643-4050).
  3. Contact a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP): Only a Licensed Master Plumber is legally authorized to repair gas piping and file required DOB test paperwork in NYC.

Restoring Gas Service After a Utility Lock-Off (Red Tag)

When the utility locks your gas meter, restoring service requires a high-pressure integrity test, filing an Emergency Work Notice with the NYC DOB, repairing defective black iron pipe threads, and coordinating the final utility unlock inspection.
