Know Your Risks

Building owners must assess not just compliance, but financial risk. Our experts provide in-depth policy analysis to help clients navigate regulatory shifts while securing incentives and avoiding costly penalties.

For a 500,000-square-foot multifamily building in New York City with an ENERGY STAR score of 40, non-compliance with Local Law 97 could result in penalties of up to $170,000.
For larger portfolios, total fines could escalate into the millions if compliance standards are not met. Verdani helps you identify which assets are likely impacted by regulatory requirements — so you can plan ahead and comply with confidence.
