“A” violation
Is issued when the appliance creates an immediate hazard. As a result, your gas supply to the appliance or building is shut off immediately.
A Safety Violation means that your equipment/appliances that use natural gas may be unsafe. During a service call, a certified gas technician may place a Safety Violation notice on your natural gas equipment if it’s not operating safely. Depending on the concern, your natural gas may be turned off for your safety until the equipment has been fixed.
There are two types of safety violations that can be issued:
“B” violation
Is issued when the appliance does not create an immediate hazard. You have up to 42 days for repairs or replacement. If the hazard is not repaired the natural gas supply will be shut off.
