Free With Registration: New York City Goes ‘Greener’ and ‘Greater’
Charles S. Warren, a partner, Karen L. Mintzer, a special counsel, and Inge Hindriks and Pamela Swidler, associates at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, write that the new laws under the Greener, Greater Buildings Plan represent a major shift because they impose significant obligations on existing buildings, which have generally been grandfathered or exempt under the New York State Energy Code and prior amendments to New York City’s codes. Advance planning and action are needed to meet the new requirements.
