Just got this disturbing in the letter. I checked our "Notice of Property Value" letter on the NYC Department of Finance website and unfortunately our building is larger than 25,000 sq ft: "Gross Square Footage of the Suffix: 25,578"
My question is this. Does this Local Law 133 still apply to us if everyone has individual boilers, heating and cooling systems? We even have individual gas meters from Con Edison, not just individual electric meters. I read somewhere that perhaps you might be exempt from Local Law 133 if all units have individual HVAC units? Thanks!
