Local Law 97 emissions limit
At its 2024 energy use, 160 Scott Avenue comes to about 221 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 272 tons for 2024 to 2029 (81% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty.

It applies the coefficients and per-use limits in Department of Buildings rule 1 RCNY 103-14 and Administrative Code 28-320.3.1.1 (as the Department lists them) and the $268 per ton penalty, checked 2026-10-04. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report: that report can count renewable energy credits, solar and storage deductions and, for 2024 and 2025, the law's occupancy group limits where higher, and penalties can be reduced for good faith efforts.

This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over.
