As the weather heats up, and dealers crank up the A/C – the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) reminds you to “Shut the Front Door.” A 2015 New York City law imposes energy conservation requirements upon commercial establishments in NYC, and requires all businesses, regard- less of size, to keep doors and windows shut while the air conditioning is running. This law has been in effect since 2016. Enforceable Penalties The DCA can fine first-violators of this provision of the law $250 for each open door or window. For a second violation (within an eighteen-month period), the penalty will be $500 per open door/window. (Note: Doors are allowed to be open during deliveries.) If you have any questions about this or other provisions of Local Law 92, please call the Association at 718.746.5900.
