I wish all the homes there would get a safety inspection for their basement gas connections. The houses are old and some pipes/gas faucets are antiquated. Just to be on the safe side: Chaverim could do it (if you don’t want City Agencies involved). Safety first! K’sima etc.
Every few year you have to have a gas inspection otherwise the city turns off your gas
House was renovated without permit. Closed down.
