§ 28-320.3.7.1 Extension of time to file report.
An owner may apply for an extension of time to file an annual report required by section 28-320.3.7 in accordance with this section and the rules of the department. An extension may be granted where the owner is unable to file the certified report by the scheduled due date despite such owner's good faith efforts, as documented in such application. An extension granted pursuant to this section shall not modify the owner's obligation to comply with the applicable emission limits for such calendar year.
(L.L. 2019/097, 5/19/2019, eff. 11/15/2019)
§ 28-320.3.7.2 Reporting on compliance by the department.
By January 1, 2026, and January 1 of every year thereafter, the office of building energy and emissions performance shall submit to the mayor and the speaker of the council a report relating to compliance with this section. Such report shall include, but not be limited to:
   1.   Beginning with the report due January 1, 2027, the methods used by covered buildings to comply with the building emissions limits established pursuant to section 28-320.3 where such buildings were not in compliance for the report submitted in the previous year, including, as applicable, any retrofitting improvements and purchasing of clean energy, disaggregated by method and by number of buildings; and
   2.   The total number of buildings in each occupancy group, and the number of buildings in compliance with emissions limits, disaggregated by occupancy group.
(L.L. 2020/117, 11/17/2020, eff. 11/17/2020)
§ 28-320.3.8 Continuing requirements.
In 2055, the office of building energy and emissions performance shall prepare and submit to the mayor and the speaker of the council recommendations whether to repeal or amend any of the requirements of this article.
(L.L. 2019/097, 5/19/2019, eff. 11/15/2019)
§ 28-320.3.9 Extension for certain income-restricted housing.
This section is applicable to covered buildings:
   1.   That are owned by a limited-profit housing company organized under article 2 of the New York state private housing finance law, and
   2.   That contain one or more dwelling units for which occupancy or initial occupancy is restricted based upon the income of the occupant or prospective occupant thereof as a condition of a loan, grant, tax exemption, tax abatement, or conveyance of property from any state or local governmental agency or instrumentality pursuant to the private housing finance law, the general municipal law, or section 420-c of the New York state real property tax law.
Such covered buildings are exempted from the annual building emissions limits set forth in section 28-320.3.1 and 28-320.3.2 of this code and from any applicable reporting requirements. Commencing January 1, 2035, such covered buildings shall be subject to the annual building emissions limits established pursuant to sections 28-320.3.4 and 28-320.3.5 of this code and any applicable reporting requirements.
(L.L. 2019/097, 5/19/2019, eff. 11/15/2019; Am. L.L. 2019/147, 7/27/2019, eff. 11/15/2019; Am. L.L. 2021/126, 11/7/2021, eff. 11/7/2022)

§ 28-320.3.10 Changes in building status.
The department may establish by rule procedures for a building to apply for additional time to comply with the emissions limits when such building converts to a new occupancy group or use with lower emissions limits, or undergoes a change affecting the applicability of this article to such building.
(L.L. 2019/097, 5/19/2019, eff. 11/15/2019)
§ 28-320.3.10.1 Additional time for certain covered buildings.
A covered building where at least one dwelling unit is required by law or by an agreement with a governmental entity to be regulated in accordance with the emergency tenant protection act of 1974, the rent stabilization law of 1969, or the local emergency housing rent control act of 1962, but that is not a rent regulated accommodation pursuant to this article, may delay compliance with annual building emissions limits until January 1, 2026, and submission of the first report required by section 28-320.3.7 until May 1, 2027.
