Title 4-C of Article 4 of the New York State Real Property Tax Law allowed a property owner in a city of 1,000,000 or more people to receive a real property tax abatement for either the installation of a solar electric generating system, or for electric energy storage equipment on a Real Property Class 1, 2 or 4 building or site, but not both.
Chapter 485 of 2023 of the laws of the state of New York amended Title 4-C to add eligibility for a property to receive individual tax abatements both for the installation of a solar electric generating system and for the installation of electric energy storage equipment as of January 1, 2024. DOB is proposing to amend Section 105-02 of its rules to account for this change. DOB is also proposing to amend the end date for eligibility for a tax abatement provided in Section 105-02 of its rules to match the end date for eligibility change to on or before January 1, 2036 made in Title 4-C by Chapter 485.

Dear NYC Department of Buildings,
Please see attached comments in support of the proposed Amendment of Rules Relating to Property Tax Abatement for Installation of Solar Electric Generating System or Electric Energy Storage Equipment. NYSEIA appreciates NYC’s clean energy leadership and believes these proposed rules reflect the recently enacted legislation. We also respectfully request that the DOB consider adding further clarification to the rules stating that parking canopies are eligible expenses, per the enacted legislation.
Thank you,
Noah Ginsburg
