New York City’s Local Laws 92 & 94 were passed by the City Council in 2019 as part of the Climate Mobilization Act, which aims to guide our city towards carbon neutrality by 2050 through various development initiatives supporting energy efficiency in buildings.

LL 92/94 mandate sustainable roofing zones in NYC on all new and existing roofs undergoing major construction. A “sustainable roofing zone” is defined by these laws as “areas of a roof assembly where a green roof system, a solar photovoltaic electricity generating system, or a combination thereof, is installed.”
