Sustainability

In a city where buildings contribute nearly three-quarters of our greenhouse gas emissions, a focus on efficiency, building energy usage, and decarbonization is critical. DOB has an essential role in implementing and enforcing our City’s ground-breaking climate policies, including Local Law 97, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the City’s largest buildings.

The Department is committed to becoming the nation’s premier municipal building organization, enhancing the quality of life for all New Yorkers, and making our city a safer and healthier place to live.
