\"\"<\/p>\n

New York City's energy benchmarking compliance deadline for the 2021 calendar year has been extended to May 31, 2022 per a\u00a0service notice<\/a> from the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB). Owners of properties on the DOB's 2022 Covered Buildings list<\/a>\u00a0must submit a benchmarking report of their 2021 utilities data by the new deadline or be subject to violations for each quarter they are not in compliance.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, NYC\u00a0Benchmarking Law<\/a>\u00a0requires owners of properties that are 25,000 square feet or larger to annually submit their building's annual energy and water usage to the EPA's\u00a0Portfolio Manager<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n

Con Edison and National Grid Customers<\/strong>
\nCon Edison<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0National Grid<\/a>\u00a0recommend that customers request their building's utilities data as soon as possible to allow enough time to meet the May 31 filing deadline.<\/p>\n

Violations for Failed Compliance
\n<\/strong>Buildings that do not submit their benchmarking reports by May 31 will face a $500 penalty each quarter until the report is filed, with a maximum fine of $2,000 per year.<\/p>\n

EER labels must be posted in a public entrance per LL33\/18 as amended by LL95\/19.<\/p><\/div>\n

Energy Efficiency Grades
\n<\/strong>Based on the benchmarking data submitted, buildings will be assigned energy efficiency grades.\u00a0Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) Labels with these grades must be posted in a public entrance of the building by October 31 of each year. The labels are available in the\u00a0DOB NOW Public Portal<\/a>\u00a0annually on October 1. Failure to comply will result in a DOB violation and an annual fine of $1,250.<\/p>\n
