In 2019, New York City enacted Local Law 97 (LL97) to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The law requires buildings over 25,000 square feet to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by the year 2030 and 80% by 2050.
LL97 is one of the most ambitious climate laws in the country and requires the management and coordination of an expert. If your property is affected by Local Law 97, Energo can help.
New York City’s Local Law 97 sets annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limits for buildings 25,000 square feet and greater beginning in 2025. A buildings’ GHG limits are a function of the building space use type(s) coupled with corresponding square footages.
Local Law 97 (LL97) requires annual filing regardless of whether a building is above or below its GHG limits, for both initial reporting periods, 2024-2029 and 2030-2034.
The reporting deadline for the LL97 2025 reporting year is May 1, 2025, however, building owners that need more time to file reports can file an LL97 extension request until August 29, 2025 (previously June 30) which would extend the LL97 reporting deadline to December 31, 2025.
While most buildings may be under their 2024 GHG limits, GHG limits drop for the 2030 reporting period. It is estimated roughly 80% of buildings are over their 2030 GHG limits making it important to begin planning now.
If your property is affected by LL97, Energo can help with our compliance services. From extension requests, gross floor area assessments and energy audits to corrective action with energy conservation measures and DOB Filings.
Buildings that fail to comply will be subject to massive fines per month for failing to file on time. In addition, if your building exceeds its assigned emissions limit, you could face annual fines.
