Exposed gas piping systems in all buildings, except one- or two-family homes, must be inspected by a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP), or a qualified individual working under the direct and continuing supervision of a LMP, at least once every four years according to the schedule set out in 1 RCNY §103-10.
A new bill approved by the City Council on December 17, 2020, and expected to become law on January 18, 2021, extends the inspection deadline for buildings in Community Districts (CD) 1, 3, and 10 in all boroughs from December 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
Owners of buildings in CD 1, 3 and 10 in all boroughs that have their gas piping systems inspected between September 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, are not required to submit the GPS2: Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification form to the Department of Buildings within 120 days of the inspection date, or where one or more conditions require time to correct within 180 days of the inspection date, but must submit the form no later than June 30, 2021.
The signed and sealed GPS2: Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification form must be submitted through the online portal at www.nyc.gov/DOBgaspipecert. Failure to file the Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification on or before the filing due date will result in a civil penalty of $10,000.

The Throggs Neck BID will again sponsor a NY Labs COVID testing truck facility. The event will take place on Saturday, January 2, from 10am to 4pm.

After years of unsuccessful attempts by various local organizations and officials, the Throggs Neck BID managed, (thanks to the efforts of Executive Director Bob Jaen) in its very first year of operations, to get an evergreen tree planted at Derosa O’Boyle Triangle. With the assistance of Rubin Farrah of Councilmember Gjonaj’s office and the enthusiastic help of the Parks Department’s Nave Strauss, an Oriental Spruce was planted on, fittingly enough, Christmas Eve. The tree will be dedicated to First Responders and Essential Workers at a special ceremony scheduled for early 2021.

Renowned food reviewer Bailey Provetto, the founder of Tasty Ladies New York, reviews BID restaurants
Comfort food is at its best at the Wicked Wolf, with an abundance of choices and a friendly atmosphere and staff.
We started with their home made soups to warm the cockles of our hearts. The French onion soup was so good with caramelized onions in a delicious broth with a good covering of cheese melting over on the sides of the crock. The lentil soup was thick with tender lentils, tons of veggies and seasoned perfectly.
Our entrees were old fashioned dishes of Shepard’s pie with a great mashed potato crust on top. The true winner was the Beef Stroganoff with tender chunks of beef in a sumptuous cream sauce over egg noodles .
Their menu has a large selection of comfort food, including burgers, salads, German cuisine, pastas, seafood and grill food with a full bar and wicked cocktails.
Would have loved to have One of their decadent desserts, but with the huge portions and endless bread basket we were too full! Maybe we will start with dessert first next time!
They have a great weekend brunch and specialty days of Monday Taco, wing specials, and Prime Rib.
On Saturday, December 19, the Throggs Neck BID sponsored COVID-19 testing. NYC Mobile Laboratories provided a mobile facility on the corner of East Tremont and Randall.
