New Low Pressure Boiler Requirements


There are several new requirements that must be followed when filing annual low pressure boiler reports.
  • A complete Boiler Inspection Report must be filed within 45 days of performing the inspection for each boiler at a property.
  • If defects are found during the inspection, the defects must be corrected and an Affirmation of Correction (BO-13 form) must be filed within 45 days of the inspection. Reports are not considered complete until the BO-13 is received.
  • Complete reports submitted more than 45 days after the date of inspection will receive a late penalty of $50.00 per boiler per month.
  • Failure to file a complete report within 12 months of the inspection will result in a full penalty of $1,000 per boiler. Reports submitted 12 months after the date of inspection will not be accepted.
  • Late filing for previous years will no longer be accepted and subject to full penalty amounts as outlined in Local Law 62 of 1991.

The 2010 Boiler Inspection Cycle runs from November 16, 2009 to November 15, 2010.

If the inspection was performed between November 16, 2009 and May 14, 2010, the report must be submitted by June 29, 2010. After June 29, the Buildings Department will not accept reports for inspections performed prior to May 15.
