NYC Local Law 84 (LL84) requires covered buildings to report annual energy use and water use where required. The report is due May 1 each year and covers the previous calendar year. Energo helps building owners and property managers across all five boroughs gather data, manage ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, and complete their benchmarking submission.
LL84 generally covers individual buildings over 25,000 gross square feet. It can also cover two or more buildings on the same tax lot that together exceed 100,000 gross square feet, or condominium buildings governed by the same board that together exceed 100,000 gross square feet. City buildings are covered under a separate provision.
Look up your borough, block, and lot number (BBL) to confirm coverage and whether your property must report water use. Start with the NYC DOB Covered Buildings List and benchmarking instructions.
We help review your building details, gather and check whole-building utility data, and set up or update your ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager record. We help share the property and its data with NYC, check submission confirmation, and address reporting errors if they come up.

Annual benchmarking is due May 1 for the previous calendar year’s usage. If the May deadline passes, the next quarterly deadlines are August 1, November 1, and February 1 of the following year. For properties still missing their 2025 usage report, the next deadline is February 1, 2027.
Missing a deadline may result in a $500 penalty per quarter until the required report is submitted, up to $2,000 per year. See NYC DOB’s benchmarking violation guidance.
Benchmarking data can support your building’s Local Law 97 emissions reporting. It can also inform your building’s energy grade, which some properties must display under NYC’s energy grade posting requirements.
Navigating the complexities of NYC Local Laws, inspections, and tri-annual filings with the various city agencies can be challenging. Energo has been helping buildings in NYC comply for decades.

Check the current NYC DOB Covered Buildings List using your 10-digit borough, block, and lot number (BBL). Look for the Local Law 84 designation and the separate flag for required water reporting. Check the list each year because your property’s status can change.
Gather the building’s gross floor area, property uses, and full prior-calendar-year energy data for the whole building. Include water data if the Covered Buildings List says your property must report it. You’ll also need your building identifiers and access to its ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager record.
You can still submit after May 1. The next quarterly checkpoints are August 1, November 1, and February 1 of the following year. NYC DOB may assess a $500 penalty for each missed deadline while the required report remains unfiled, up to $2,000 per year.
Check for DOB’s confirmation email after you share the property and its completed data with the City in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. You can also review the property’s communications in the Building Energy Analysis Manager (BEAM). Address any errors the City flags.
Yes. If your building is covered for that filing year, you still need to submit the previous calendar year’s usage data. An existing Portfolio Manager account or a prior-year filing does not complete the current year’s requirement.
No. Local Law 84 requires annual benchmarking of building energy use and water use where required. Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas emissions limits and has separate reporting requirements for covered buildings. Benchmarking data can support that work.
NYC uses benchmarking data to determine energy efficiency scores and grades for eligible buildings. The energy grade posting requirement under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95, is a separate step for buildings subject to it.
