Failure to Post
Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels
 |
Starting April 29,
2021, the Department will start issuing violations to owners
of buildings over 25,000 square feet – or multiple
buildings on a lot that total 100,000 square feet or
more – that appear on the
NYC Benchmarking Covered
Buildings List who fail to post an Energy Efficiency
Rating Label as required by
Local Law 33 of 2018.
Per the rule, an owner
who fails to post the label within 30 days after
October 1 will be subject to a civil penalty of
$1250. Covered buildings were required to post
the label starting back in October 2020.
Owners who receive a violation for failure to post
the Energy Efficiency Label can view and pay the
civil penalties, or challenge the violation, through
a new portal in
DOB NOW: Safety.
