A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to elimination of permit and or filing fees for green building projects undertaken on one to three family homes

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Section 28-101.5 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new definition of “GREEN BUILDING PROJECT” in alphabetical order to read as follows:

 

GREEN BUILDING PROJECT. A building project or renovation undertaken that, when constructed, will produce, from renewable resources, a decrease in carbon, or carbon equivalent, emissions in a percentage no less than 50 percent of such building’s prior year emissions. This may include installation of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, geothermal ground source heat pumps, or wind energy systems.

 

§ 2. Section 28-112.1 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new exception 3 to read as follows:

 

3. A permit, inspection, or other service or privilege as regulated in this code shall not be subject to this provision if the work proposed is under a new building or alteration of an existing building for a one-, two-, or three-family dwelling that will be a green building project. The application for any such project must comply with the requirements of section 28-104.7.9, and must show how such work will result in a sufficient decrease in emissions.

 

§ 3. This local law takes effect 180 days after it becomes law.
