The Importance of the HPD Gas Leak Notice Sign

The Gas Leak Notice is a critical safety requirement mandated for all multiple dwellings in New York City. According to Housing Maintenance Code (HMC § 27-2005), building owners must display this notice in a clearly visible location to inform tenants of the proper steps to take if they detect the smell of gas. This includes immediate safety actions and emergency reporting procedures, helping to prevent accidents and save lives. Without this posting, tenants may be left without the knowledge they need to respond quickly in a dangerous situation, putting both individuals and property at risk.

Constructed from durable rust-free aluminum, the Gas Leak Notice Sign is built for longevity and reliability. Measuring the standard 8.5 x 11 inches, it features a white background with bold black lettering to ensure maximum visibility. With pre-drilled holes in each corner, the sign is simple to mount, and its rounded edges provide both safety and a clean, professional appearance. The sign’s 0.023-inch thickness makes it sturdy enough for long-term posting in residential buildings where safety and compliance are top priorities.

Posting the Gas Leak Notice is not just about avoiding violations—it is about safeguarding tenants and ensuring full compliance with HPD regulations. As part of the HPD Required Signage package, this notice must be prominently displayed so that every resident can easily read and follow the instructions during an emergency. By installing this mandatory sign, property owners demonstrate their commitment to tenant safety, regulatory compliance, and the prevention of potentially life-threatening gas-related incidents.
