DOB records show 39 buildings across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens received active violations on October 8 for failing to file a Local Law 97 compliance report. Per DOB Safety Violations data, every one carries the same violation type — FTF-EN-LL97321 — and the same remark: failure to file a compliance report as required by Administrative Code Section 28-321.3, under 1 RCNY § 103-17(b).

Local Law 97 — the city's building-emissions law — requires owners of covered buildings over 25,000 square feet to file annual reports showing their greenhouse gas emissions and, starting this compliance period, to show they're hitting the law's carbon caps. A building that misses the filing deadline gets a violation first and a fine later; the Department of Buildings tracks the filing failure itself as a distinct violation category, separate from any emissions penalty that follows.

The Bronx accounts for the largest share of the batch — 24 of the 39 addresses, spread across neighborhoods including Norwood, Longwood, Morrisania, Concourse, Pelham Parkway-Van Nest, and University Heights. Manhattan follows with 9 addresses, concentrated in Harlem, Washington Heights, and Hamilton Heights. Brooklyn has 5 addresses, including buildings in Bushwick, Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Red Hook. Queens has 2, in Jamaica Estates-Holliswood and Jackson Heights.

Addresses cited include 131 Rivington Street (Lower East Side, Manhattan); 2400 7 Avenue and 247 West 145 Street (Harlem); 611 West 156 Street and 3750 Broadway (Washington Heights); 2950 Park Avenue and 888 Grand Concourse (Bronx); 151 Conover Street (Red Hook, Brooklyn); 36 Linden Street (Bushwick, Brooklyn); and 175-27 Wexford Terrace (Jamaica Estates, Queens), among 29 others — the full list is in DOB's public violations dataset, searchable by BIN or address.

Every violation in this batch is listed as Active, meaning none has been resolved as of this writing. DOB's record does not say why any individual filing was missed — a late accountant, a change in ownership, a disputed exemption, or simple oversight can all produce the same violation code, and the record draws no distinction between them.

For building owners and the contractors and engineers who manage their compliance work, this is a reminder that DOB is actively enforcing the LL97 filing deadline building-by-building, not just assessing emissions penalties down the road. A missed filing becomes a public, searchable violation almost immediately. Owners on this list — or anyone managing a covered building who hasn't filed — should check their building's status on DOB NOW and file before the violation compounds into the separate emissions-cap penalty process.
