Services
Can You Install Commercial Solar on an Older NYC Roof?
Yes, commercial solar can often be installed on an older NYC roof. The age of the building or roof does not automatically disqualify it. What matters is the roof’s current condition, remaining service life, structural capacity, drainage, usable space and whether repairs or replacement should be completed before installation.
Does a Boiler Tune-Up Count as a Local Law 62 Boiler Inspection in NYC?
A routine boiler tune-up does not automatically count as the annual boiler inspection required under NYC Local Law 62. The two services can be completed during the same visit, but they serve different purposes.
When Does the NYC Building Energy Grade Need to Be Posted in 2026?
If your New York City building is subject to the City’s energy grading requirements, the 2026 Building Energy Efficiency Rating Label must be posted no later than October 31, 2026.
How Do You Know If Your Solar Panels Need Repair?
Solar panels do not need to stop producing electricity completely before something can be wrong.
A noticeable drop in energy production, repeated inverter alerts, a portion of the system that stops producing, or visible damage can all be signs that a solar system should be inspected.
NYC DEP Boiler Registration: What Is the CATS System and How Does Renewal Work?
If you received a notice from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection that mentions CATS, a boiler registration or an upcoming renewal, it is easy to wonder what exactly you are being asked to do.
The first thing to know is that CATS is the filing system, not the boiler requirement itself.
Does NYC Local Law 92/94 Apply to Roof Repairs or Full Roof Replacements?
Not every NYC roof repair or replacement automatically triggers Local Laws 92 and 94. For an existing building, the New York City Department of Buildings identifies replacement of the entire existing roof deck or roof assembly as a trigger for the sustainable roofing requirements.
