NYC’s building performance mandate sees strong compliance in first year

Two LL97 compliance paths — Article 320 and Article 321 — had reporting requirements for this first compliance year, DOB said in its report.

Article 320 generally applies to market-rate buildings across use types and requires annual reports documenting building emissions and compliance within applicable emissions limits.

Among those using the performance pathway, more than 90% reported already meeting more stringent 2030 emissions limits.

It also had a very high emissions compliance rate of 95%.

“When we hit 2030, so many more building owners are going to have to do something to come into compliance,” she said.
