Why this site exists
Every spring, thousands of owners, co-op boards and property managers get the same questions wrong: Is my building covered? Did my filing actually go through? Why is my energy grade a D? The City’s rules are public, but they’re spread across DOB notices, rule changes and portal guides. We put the answers in one place, keep them current, and say clearly when something changes.
Who writes and reviews the content

How we keep information accurate
- We check every deadline, fine amount and threshold against NYC Department of Buildings sources.
- Each page shows a “Last reviewed” date, and we re-review all core pages each January and after any DOB rule change.
- When rules change, we update the page and add a dated note explaining what changed.
- Found something out of date? Email [address] and we’ll correct it.
