Fumes / Vapors / Gas Leak / Smell of Gas

If you see signs of a gas leak or smell gas,

  • Immediately leave the location and
  • Notify the Office of Public Safety: 212-772-4444.
  • Smell - A distinctive, strong odor similar to rotten eggs.
  • See - A white cloud, mist, fog, bubbles in standing water, blowing dust or vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no reason.
  • Hear - Roaring, hissing or whistling.
  • If the odor is strong, leave immediately and take others with you.
  • If you are outside, leave the area immediately.
  • Do not light a match or smoke, turn appliances or lights on or off (including flashlights), use a telephone or start a car. Doing so can produce sparks that might cause the gas to explode.
  • Find a phone away from the area and call: 911 or 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). You can report leaks anonymously.
  • Do not assume someone else will report the condition.
  • Follow directions from emergency responders who are on site.
  • Under no circumstances should you enter a room or area from which a strong odor or vapor is being emitted.
