					Failure to Post 
					Building Energy Efficiency Rating Labels 
 
						
							|  | Starting April 29, 
							2021, the Department will start issuing violations to owners 
							of buildings over 25,000 square feet – or multiple 
							buildings on a lot that total 100,000 square feet or 
							more – that appear on the 
							
							NYC Benchmarking Covered 
							Buildings List who fail to post an Energy Efficiency 
							Rating Label as required by 
							
							Local Law 33 of 2018. 
							
							Per the rule, an owner 
							who fails to post the label within 30 days after 
							October 1 will be subject to a civil penalty of 
							$1250. Covered buildings were required to post 
							the label starting back in October 2020.
 Owners who receive a violation for failure to post 
							the Energy Efficiency Label can view and pay the 
							civil penalties, or challenge the violation, through 
							a new portal in
