Join members of the Department of Buildings (DOB) for the ninth webinar in a series dedicated to Local Law 97 (LL97) reporting. 

On Friday, March 28th at 11:00 am, the DOB will present on how to navigate the Local Law 97 (LL97) reporting portal for combined reporting.  

Combined reports (or “single reports” in the Rule) are when multiple buildings report together under a single filing fee and RDP attestation. According to 1 RCNY §103-14(b)(4) and 1 RCNY §103-17(b), combined reports are possible when buildings: i) have the same owner; ii) are on the same lot or adjacent lots; and iii) follow the same LL97 compliance pathway. 

There will be a Q & A box for submitting questions, which will be answered by the presenting entities. 

The webinar will be recorded for future viewing and posted on both the ASHRAE and DOB websites. 

ASHRAE membership is not required, and the webinar is free to attend.
