LL88 Compliance, Surveyed and Filed.
The LL88 deadline passed in January 2025. If you haven't filed, the fix is simple: we survey the building, tell you what's needed, or file it as-is if it already complies. Lighting and submetering both, for buildings 25,000 sq ft and up.
New to LL88? The full law page covers thresholds, submetering triggers, and penalties.
The obligation is still open. The path hasn't changed: survey, report, filing. If the building is already in good shape, we just file.
Then you're likely one filing away. We document the existing condition, confirm it complies, and close it out. Often a quick job.
How It Works
A focused version of our compliance survey. We tell you what the building needs, or that it doesn't need anything. Then we file:

Report with Recommendations
We File It
Own more than one covered building? We run one LL88 cycle across the whole cluster instead of chasing each attestation on its own.
The Upgrade Pays for Itself
If the report calls for work, it isn't money down the drain. LED fixtures draw a fraction of the wattage of the lamps they replace, and networked controls on top save about 47% more lighting energy on average; roughly 70% of projects save 30% or more (DLC).
Every recommendation in the report carries its own numbers: wattage removed, projected savings, simple payback. The penalty buys nothing; the upgrade pays back. If controls work is needed, that's where NLC design & commissioning comes in.
What You Walk Away With
- Building summary with a compliance verdict for every surveyed space
- Every deficiency tied to its NYC Energy Conservation Code reference
- A recommendations table: wattage removed, projected energy savings, and simple payback per line item
- The filed and certified attestation that closes the obligation
- A building record that carries forward into your portfolio view
Where It Fits
The report comes out of the same field work as our lighting surveys, scoped to LL88.
A verified LL88 status doesn't just close a filing. It becomes part of the building's record in portfolio intelligence.
Free, no signup. Returns covered laws + estimated annual exposure in 10 seconds.
We finished the lighting work but never filed. Can you just close it out?
Who certifies the LL88 filing?
Does this cover submetering, not just lighting?
What if the building isn't compliant yet?
It's a residential building. Does LL88 apply?
Haven't Filed? Start with the Survey.
We survey the building, tell you what's needed, or that nothing is, and file the attestation that closes LL88 out. Get a proposal, or check a building free first.
Estimated penalty amounts and compliance pathways may vary annually. Projections are intended to aid compliance planning but may not exactly match actual penalties. The compliance pathways are based on DOB's Covered Buildings List, which was compiled using preliminary data subject to change. This information is intended only as a reference for building owners to consider in consultation with legal representatives and registered design professionals (RDPs). LuxNet's compliance check is informational and does not constitute legal or financial advice. Actual fines depend on building specifics, filing history, and DOB enforcement.
