Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated

Local Law 97 emissions limit

At its 2024 energy use, 35 Kent Avenue comes to about 246 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 336 tons for 2024 to 2029 (73% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 119 tons and the same energy use counts as about 162 tons, about 43 tons over, or an estimated $12,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 44,338 SF. 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.

Change these numbers in the Local Law 97 calculator to see what a cut in energy use would do to the penalty.

What is the energy grade of 35 Kent Avenue?

35 Kent Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 33 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 33 earns a D.

From 2030 the limit drops to 119 tons and the same energy use counts as about 162 tons, about 43 tons over, or an estimated $12,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions. 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.
