NYC rules that apply here

Based on the building’s size, age and type. These apply whether or not anything is open.

• NYCHA public housingOwned by the New York City Housing Authority. Public housing: rents follow federal rules, and NYCHA is under a federal monitor. PACT/RAD conversions are run by private managers under long-term leases; the manager, not NYCHA, handles repairs and compliance there.
• LL97: city / NYCHA portfolioCovered by the city’s or NYCHA’s portfolio-wide emission cuts instead of building limits.
• LL88 lightingOn DOB’s Local Law 88 list: lighting in non-residential and common spaces had to meet code by January 1, 2025 (and tenant submeters in the largest buildings), with a report to DOB.
• HPD registration every yearRequired for every residential building with 3 or more apartments, between May 21 and September 1. Without it, an owner cannot bring a nonpayment case or certify corrected violations. Read the guide
