\n<\/strong>The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) has announced that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 2020 Benchmarking (Local Laws 84\/09 and 133\/16) compliance deadline for the 2019 calendar year has been granted a 90-day extension<\/a>. Building owners will not be issued penalty fees if the benchmarking report is submitted to the city by the new deadline of August 1, 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nNew York City's\u00a0Benchmarking Law<\/a> (LL84\/09)\u00a0requires owners of individual\u00a0buildings larger than 50,000 SF, or groups of buildings on a single lot larger than 100,000 SF,\u00a0to annually measure their energy and water consumption in a process called benchmarking. Water, electricity, gas, and fuel or steam usage are collected and tracked by the city to help owners use less energy and save money.<\/p>\n
\nIn 2016, NYC passed Local Law 133\/16<\/a>, which expands the list of buildings required to benchmark to include buildings\u00a025,000 to 50,000 square feet in size.<\/p>\n
\nBuilding owners who did not submit a benchmarking report by May 1, 2020 will receive a reminder by the DOB as a notice of Non-Submission, but will not be subjected to violation fees. Properties on the Covered Buildings List<\/a> that do not submit a benchmarking report by the new deadline will receive a Notice of Violation from the DOB and be fined $500. Continued failure to benchmark will result in a $500 penalty each quarter, up to $2,000 per year.<\/p>\n
