New Rules Proposed
for Local Law 97

This week,
the Department released proposed rules for the
implementation of Local Law 97, which provide additional
clarity to property owners and industry professionals on
how to comply with upcoming carbon emission limits. The
publication of these rules is another critical step
towards the robust implementation of this building
emissions law ahead of the first compliance period
starting for 2024.

Included in the proposed rules are a formula for
determining a building�s annual greenhouse gas emissions
limits; the method for calculating a building�s energy
use; and the method for factoring time of use into
calculations, which encourages responsible energy
consumption.

The Department
will be holding a public online hearing on the proposed
rules on November 14, 2022.

Buildings After
Hours

Every
Tuesday evening, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, DOB's five
borough offices are open late, providing one-on-one
consultations for homeowners, small business owners,
tenants and building managers.

This free
weekly customer service event runs throughout the year,
and is a great opportunity for New Yorkers to meet
directly with DOB experts in-person to get answers to
their questions about city construction regulations,
receive guidance on resolving DOB-issued violations, or
get started on the right foot with advice for their next
renovation project.

So bring
your questions, and stop on by at your local borough
office for Buildings After Hours. No appointment
necessary.

Reminder Monday October 10th is a City holiday and DOB offices are closed but we will be back on Tuesday October 11th.
