What is Local Law 97?
Local Law 97 sets an emission limit for NYC’s largest buildings in an effort to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions. Enacted in 2019 as part of the Climate Mobilization Act, this legislation is a significant component of the city’s plan to achieve an 80% reduction in citywide emissions by 2050. Nearly 70% of New York City’s carbon emission can be traced back to the fossil fuels used to heat, cool and power its buildings. LL97 addresses this issue by setting stringent carbon emission limits for the city’s largest buildings.
With the first compliance period for Local Law 97 officially extended from May 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, there is still time to have your building analyze and a report prepared for the DOB.
