In a significant move, the New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) has announced an extension to the deadline for submitting applications for adjustments to annual building emissions limits. This extension applies to the calendar years 2024-2029, providing a much-needed respite for building owners and managers.
The NYC DOB has made it clear that all applications must be submitted via DOB NOW: Safety, their online portal. This move is in line with the department’s push towards digitalization, ensuring a streamlined and efficient process for all parties involved.
One important aspect to note is that the filing fee for these applications varies. The fee is contingent on the type of adjustment being requested, which means applicants need to be aware of the specifics of their request before proceeding.
To aid in this process, the NYC DOB has made resources and support available on two platforms: the DOB NOW Training page and the NYC Sustainable Buildings Adjustments page. These resources are designed to provide comprehensive information and guidance, making the application process as smooth as possible.
The department has set specific deadlines for different types of adjustments. For adjustments due to special circumstances, the deadline is January 1, 2025, and the filing fee is $2,450. For not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare facilities seeking adjustments, the deadline is also January 1, 2025, but with a lower filing fee of $335.
This extension is a significant development for all stakeholders in the NYC building industry. It provides additional time to understand the requirements, gather necessary information, and submit a well-prepared application. The NYC DOB’s commitment to providing resources and support further underscores its dedication to a sustainable and efficient building environment in the city.
