LLCompliance Strategist NYC Buildings

Overview

Local Law 97 (LL97) sets annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limits for buildings 25,000 square feet and greater beginning in 2025. A building’s GHG limits are a function of the building space use type(s) coupled with corresponding square footage. LL97 requires annual filing regardless of whether a building is above or below its GHG limits, for both initial reporting periods,  and .

New York City enacted Local Law 97 to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The law requires buildings over 25,000 square feet to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. LL97 is one of the most ambitious climate laws in the country and requires the management and coordination of an expert. If your property is affected by Local Law 97, Energo can help.

The reporting deadline for the LL97 2025 reporting year is May 1, 2025. Building owners that need more time can file an LL97 extension request until August 29, 2025 which would extend the reporting deadline to December 31, 2025.

Energo can help with our LL97 services, including extension requests, gross floor area assessments, energy audits, and corrective action with energy conservation measures and DOB filings.

• Failure to File a Report: $0.50 per building square foot, per month. For example, a 100,000 sq. ft. building would be $50,000 per month.
• Exceeding Emission Limits: $268 for each metric ton over the building’s established limit. For example, a 100,000 sq. ft. multifamily building emitting 800 metric tons of carbon would be 145 metric tons over its  targets and pay a fine of $38,860.
• Providing False Statements: $500,000 fine

Client testimonials:

“I am a customer with Energo for a few years now and I am totally happy with their service. Back in December 2024 when we had 12 degree freezing weather, my boiler was turning on and off. I called burner service at 7:00am and by 8:30am the boiler mechanic arrived and replaced the Oil Boiler Control within 20 minutes. What a great company with their prompt service.

Thank you Energo.”

“One of my top priorities is having a reliable team that consistently provides excellent service to our clients. Energo has truly delivered on this for the past three years. Their team is dedicated, professional, and treats our properties with the same care and urgency that we do.”

“I’m a property manager and I want to recommend Energo to anyone looking for an oil delivery company. They do a ton more but their fuel rates are among the best in the city. They are super responsible and always on time deliveries. For your convenience, you can order by text and get messages confirming the order was placed and when the delivery has been made.”

“The service mechanic came to service my boiler and noticed the water heater leaking. He diagnosed the problem right away and told us that the water heater needed to be replaced. Gus, in the office, was very helpful and two days later, we had a new tank installed. Fast, clean and reliable. The mechanics did an amazing job!”

“I absolutely recommend Energo for the local law 152 gas inspections. It was such a smooth, straightforward process done professionally by Sebastian who was very polite and knowledgeable.”
