Local Law 117:
To improve electrical safety regulations in all five boroughs, New York City passed Local Law 117 in 2020. LL117 has significant ramifications for building owners, contractors, and electrical service providers, although being less well-known than energy efficiency standards. This rule makes it abundantly evident to anyone working in the electrical sector that proactive compliance, proper documentation, and reliable specialists are more crucial than ever.
What Is Local Law 117?
The Department of Buildings (DOB) is required by Local Law 117 of 2020 to keep a public registry of licensed electricians who have been cited for hazardous, inappropriate, or code-noncompliant work. The objective is to guarantee accountability, enhance transparency, and promote safety in NYC's electrical sector.
This law facilitates the following for contractors, developers, and property owners:
Check the electricians' performance history.
Avoid using contractors that are troublesome or have a history of offenses.
Make safe, code-compliant work your first priority.
Why It Matters for Building Owners and Contractors
Selecting the incorrect electrical contractor could now jeopardize your project and reputation if you're a developer or property owner. It is more crucial than ever to pick a business with a spotless reputation, the appropriate license, and extensive knowledge of NYC rules.

The Electrical Code of New York City
Requirements for permits and inspections
Correct documentation and workmanship
