Prime example of DOB first to shoot the regulatory requirement not even thinking what they are doing. When repairing an old fire rated boiler room enclosure the work is exmept from energy requirements versus the building. Guess will have to wait for September when new PW-1 forms are gonna kick in.
So I suppose that means no more self cert applications since the only exempt buildings are national and state certified historic buildings?
