NYC Department of Buildings- carves out a different path for landlords on the climate crisis
Manage episode 446356585 series 1538108
Some advocates are worried New York City may be scaling back the ambition of a landmark climate law.
Local Law 97 went into effect this year. It sets aggressive emissions restrictions on buildings, which account for nearly 70% of the city’s carbon pollution. Stricter limits go into effect in 2030.
Now, new rules from the Department of Buildings allow landlords to pay instead of reducing emissions, to a degree. That money will go into a fund for climate-friendly projects at affordable housing developments.
Department of Buildings Deputy Commissioner for Enforcement Laura Popa joined WNYC's Michael Hill to discuss these new developments for Local Law 97.
