Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated
Local Law 97 emissions limit
At its 2024 energy use, 32 East 31st Street comes to about 294 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 379 tons for 2024 to 2029 (77% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 135 tons and the same energy use counts as about 247 tons, about 112 tons over, or an estimated $30,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions.

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.
