Important Information for Building Owners

INTRODUCTION

Not everyone knows this, but buildings alone are the single-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions/carbon footprints in New York City. That is why a set of laws were passed by the New York City Council to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to make the environment more habitable.

But to help building owners and property managers stay in compliance with New York City local laws, we list down building maintenance-related local law deadlines and extensions so that you can plan now to help you avoid violations, fines, and even possible civil penalties.

More importantly, timely compliance will help keep your buildings, residents, and commercial tenants safe and healthy and significantly increase your property value.
