NYC Local Law 88: Lighting, Submetering & LL88 Report Requirements
If you own or manage a NYC building over 25,000 square feet, Local Law 88 is one of the four building energy laws you have to think about — and it’s the one most owners understand the least. LL88 requires two things: upgrading the building’s lighting to meet the current NYC Energy Conservation Code, and installing submeters for non-residential tenant spaces over 5,000 square feet.
Why Is My Central AC Not Cooling? NYC Homeowner Guide
If your central AC is running but not cooling, the cause is usually one of a short list: the thermostat is set wrong, the filter is clogged, a breaker or power issue is interrupting the system, the evaporator coil is frozen.
Local Law 142 and LL152: Who Can Legally Perform Your NYC Gas Piping Inspection
If you own or manage a building in New York City, the rules around who can legally perform your Local Law 152 gas piping inspection have changed. Local Law 142 didn’t replace LL152 — it tightened who is allowed to perform the inspection on behalf of a Licensed Master Plumber.
Local Law 62 Explained: NYC Annual Low-Pressure Boiler Inspections, Deadlines, and Penalties
If your NYC building has a covered boiler, you are required to have it inspected every calendar year and file the inspection report within 14 days — no exceptions, no grace period, and no automatic extension unless you request and receive one in advance. That is Local Law 62 in a sentence.
Local Law 87 Explained: NYC Energy Audits, Retro-Commissioning, and the 10-Year Compliance Cycle
Local Law 87 is one of the more demanding energy compliance requirements facing large NYC building owners — and one of the least understood. Unlike Local Law 84, which requires annual data reporting, LL87 requires a real engineering process: a full energy audit and a retro-commissioning study, completed by qualified professionals, every 10 years.
Should You Service Your AC Before Summer in NYC?
If your air conditioner sat unused from October through April, it needs a look before you turn it on for the summer. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s the same logic as a boiler tune-up before heating season.
