NYC rules that apply here

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

• HDFC (Article XI)A Housing Development Fund Corporation under Article XI of the NY Private Housing Finance Law: usually a limited-equity co-op that the city sold to its tenants, or a non-profit-owned affordable building. Run by a resident board, usually volunteers, so the compliance calendar is the board’s job and often falls behind. The property-tax exemption is tied to a regulatory agreement with HPD, which can step in if the building is mismanaged or in distress.
• 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
• E-designationEnvironmental requirements (hazardous materials, air or noise) from the Office of Environmental Remediation apply before new construction or a change of use.
