NYC rules that apply here

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

• Sidewalk shed / scaffold upAn active DOB NOW permit for a sidewalk shed, scaffold or construction fence. A shed is a monthly rental cost, and one that stays up for years usually means facade repairs are stalled. The permit has to be renewed while the shed stands; an expired shed permit is a violation.
• LL97: emission limits from 2024On DOB’s Local Law 97 list under Article 320: emission limits since January 1, 2024, report every May 1.
• LL87 energy auditOn DOB’s Local Law 87 list: an energy audit and retro-commissioning report every ten years, the year set by the block number’s last digit.
• 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.
• Gas piping inspection every four years (Local Law 152)Every building except one- and two-family homes; the year depends on the community district. Read the guide
• Façade inspection every five years (FISP / Local Law 11)Taller than six stories, so a qualified inspector must examine the exterior walls every five years and file with DOB. Read the guide
