Building Owners Must Post Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels By
October 30, 2020

The Department of
Buildings is reminding building owners that they are required
to post Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels

no later
than October 30, 2020

, and October 30 of each year after
2020. Based on Local Law 33 of 2018, as amended by Local Law 95
of 2019, owners of buildings over 25,000 sq. ft. – or multiple
buildings on a lot totaling 100,000 sq. ft. or more – that
appear on the
NYC Benchmarking Covered Building List, must post a Building Energy Efficiency Rating Label in a conspicuous
location near each public entrance to their buildings.

Starting
October 1, 2020, owners can access and print the label through a
new Building Energy Efficiency Rating tab in the
DOB NOW Public
Portal. The label will include the energy efficiency
score of the building and an energy efficiency rating of A
through F. Failure to post the label within 30 days after
October 1 may result in a civil penalty of $1250. Please see
our

Service Notice and visit the Department's

Benchmarking page for more information.
