Businesses and Air-Conditioning: Know the Law
|
Approved by the Mayor last October,
Local Law 92 of 2015 prohibits businesses of any size from leaving doors and windows open while the air-conditioning is running. Proposed and advocated for as part of NYC's
Shut the Front Door Campaign, this legislation seeks to curb energy wastefulness and protect the environment through mindful use of energy.
This law took full effect on July 1, 2016, which means that, rather than any written warnings, businesses found in violation of the law will be liable for a $250 civil penalty for each open door or window. Subsequently, businesses found with additional violations within an eighteen month period will be subject to $500 penalties for each open door or window. For chain stores, the first violation will be a fine of $500 each while any subsequent violations within eighteen months will be a fine of $1,000 each. Patrons are able to file complaints through the
nyc.gov website and 311.
This law also requires that chain stores--stores with five or more locations in New York City--must post a sign alerting people to contact 311 to report violations of the law on all exterior doors in a location easy for the public to see. You can
click here to download a PDF version of the required signage along with some guidelines.
Though it may be tempting to prop open your business doors and windows during these warm and sunny months, doing so could result in a fine from the City. Please be conscious of these regulations as the summer continues and contact 311 with any questions or concerns.
