Local Law 84 requires owners of buildings with more than 25,000 square feet to submit annual benchmarking data by May 1st of every year.

All applicable residential buildings must install approved natural gas detectors in accordance with Local Law 157 by this date.

The first emissions report or prescriptive pathway filing is due by this date. Most covered buildings must submit their first annual emissions report via the DOB’s Building Emissions Assessment Management (BEAM) platform. Large buildings following the prescriptive pathway (Article 321) must file their one-time report by the same deadline. DOB is allowing a grace period through June 30, 2025. Submissions made by then will not incur penalties, but enforcement begins after that date.

Large buildings covered by Local Law 88 must file proof of upgraded common area lighting and installation of commercial tenant submeters, as required. Compliance filings must be submitted through the DOB’s online BEAM portal.
