Elimination of permit and or filing fees for green building projects undertaken on one to three family homes.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to elimination of permit and or filing fees for green building projects undertaken on one to three family homes

This bill would create a new definition for green building project, defined as a building or renovation project that will produce, from renewable resources, a decrease in carbon, or carbon equivalent, emissions in a percentage of no less than 50 percent of the building’s prior year emissions. This bill would also waive any building permit, inspection, or other service fees for a green building project undertaken on one- to three-family homes when the owner submits documentation demonstrating a sufficient decrease in emissions.
