Prepare Now to Avoid Costly Local Law 97 Fines – Register Today!

The Department of Buildings (DOB) has recently tripled its enforcement staff to address compliance with Local Law 97, meaning penalties for noncompliance are imminent and significant. With the first reporting deadline fast approaching in May 2025, it’s crucial that you take proactive steps to ensure your building is ready. 

Why Act Now?

Delaying action could lead to substantial fines, affecting your bottom line. Fines can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, depending on your building's emissions performance. As a building owner or manager, it's your responsibility to safeguard your property’s financial health and ensure compliance with the city’s strict emissions standards.

Join our Local Law 97 experts, Nicholas Dalton (Director of MEP Engineering), Jon Colatrella (Executive Director of MEP & Forensic Engineering), and Jon Zelinsky, P.E. (EVP of Corporate Strategy), as they outline the key steps you need to take now. They’ll help you:

Develop a comprehensive plan to reduce emissions and avoid hefty fines.

  • ·Understand the critical timelines—including equipment lead times and utility service delays that could take years—so you can mitigate the risks of noncompliance.
  • ·Choose the right partners who can support your building’s sustainability efforts and navigate the complex process of meeting LL97 requirements.

Essential to Start Now:

Although the next compliance period for even stricter emissions limits begins in 2030, it’s essential to start planning now. With long lead times for electric utility services and critical equipment, waiting could leave you with little time to implement the necessary changes. The earlier you act, the better your chances of avoiding disruption and ensuring your building stays ahead of compliance requirements.

This webinar will equip you with:

  • Step-by-step guidance on how to get started today.
  • Strategies to prepare for potential delays and ensure timely compliance.
  • Expert advice on selecting partners that will ensure your building meets LL97 requirements smoothly and efficiently.
