Local Law 88

All New York City buildings greater than 25,000 must comply with local law 88 beginning January 1st, 2025. Local Law 88 of 2009 and its subsequent expansions with Local Laws 132 and 134 of 2016, require common areas in residential buildings greater than 25,000 square feet and all areas in non-residential buildings greater than 25,000 square feet to upgrade lighting to meet current New York City Energy Conservation Code standards by January 1, 2025. It also requires that all non-residential buildings greater than 25,000 square feet install electrical sub-meters for each large non-residential tenant space greater than 5,000 square feet and to provide monthly statements summarizing energy consumption in those spaces.
