"Local Law 128 of 2024 becomes effective on December 21, 2025. Local Law 128 repealed Chapter 3 of Title 27 of the New York City Administrative Code, made the Electrical Code a part of the New York City construction codes (“Construction Codes”) and made amendments to it. This revision allows for and standardizes many agency practices related to this area of regulation.

Various rules are being amended to reflect these changes, as well as general amendments to some civil penalties. In general, the amendments update rules to conform to our current rule numbering practices and to reflect the new citations in Local Law 128. In addition, the amendments clarify practices and update fees. Lastly, the amendments update references and civil penalty amounts in regard to the new 2025 Electrical Code and generally."
