Building Talk - The Podcast for NYC Building Managers - Interviews ProSentry’s John Rusk

Join John Rusk, ProSentry’s President & Co-Founder, as he sits down with Building Talk podcast hosts, Bo and Frank, to discuss and demonstrate how ProSentry gets NYC residential building managers proactive with its ecosystem of wireless smart sensors. Together, they explore their innovative, LoRaWAN, monitoring and detection solution, revealing how ProSentry ensures compliance with Local Law 157, NYC’s latest legislation, requiring natural gas detectors in every residential building by May 2025. 

Rusk educates listeners on how ProSentry simplifies innovative building monitoring and detection for gas and water leaks, pest control, mechanical malfunctions, air quality, mold, and more. He explains how hard-to-locate gas leaks result in building-wide valve shut-off and a damaging process to get your building’s gas turned back on. Most NYC buildings can’t withstand the gas pipe pressure test of its natural gas piping to 600% of its normal pressure, often resulting in building-wide repiping or conversion to electric. Both costly and inconvenient. 

While these guys bring on the laughter, there’s nothing funny about saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs and renovations, avoiding non-compliance fines, lowering insurance premiums, increasing tenant safety and satisfaction, and enhancing the integrity of your professional reputation. 

“This little ProSentry device senses the gas and within 15 seconds we’re going to text the Super…and we’re saying, ‘The stove in 21J is at 10% of the Lowest Explosion Limit.’ That means you can hightail it up there, open the door, turn off the stove and open the window. If the Fire Department gets called, everyone knows where it [the gas leak] is…That way, the Fire Department doesn’t have to waste their time [locating the leak’s specific location].”
