125 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn: NYC LL84 Benchmarking Violation

This record comes from the NYC Department of Buildings’ own Local Law 84 benchmarking violation table, the same file the free lookup reads live. 125 Schenectady Avenue, Brooklyn shows 4 open notices of type FTF-EN-BENCH, issued for failing to file an ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager benchmarking report by the building’s deadline.

Why the penalty is a flat $500 per notice

DOB issues a new $500 notice each quarter the report stays unfiled, capped at $2,000 a year. It does not let one notice grow. A building with 4 open notices owes $2,000, the count times $500, never a running meter on any single notice. Why the violation recurs every quarter works through the filing that stops it.

The city’s own record lists 125 Schenectady Ave as the owner of record for this building, a building class C6 property with 25 units, built in 1910.

Whether this building is covered by LL84

Not every building in the five boroughs owes an annual benchmarking report. Is my building covered by LL84 sets out the size and ownership thresholds, and how LL84 differs from the LL33 letter grade separates the filing obligation from the placard the building later has to post.

Clearing the violation

BenchFile files the overdue ENERGY STAR report and sends a payment kit for the penalty already accrued. For a building in this position that is the $149 once cure fee, then $49 a year to keep the building filed before every future 1 May deadline. We file the report; the penalty itself is paid by the owner directly to the city, in their own DOB NOW login. What curing a violation actually costs and who can file the report cover the rest.

Where these figures come from

The violation number, issue date and status are the NYC Department of Buildings’ own Local Law 84 benchmarking violation table, republished by NYC Open Data. The penalty and the next deadline are arithmetic on that table, not a figure the city itself publishes. Nothing on this page is added to the city’s record; the record is theirs and this page reports it.
