15 Hudson Yards is not subject to Local Law 97.
Based on NYC public-records data, 15 Hudson Yards (13 WEST 29 STREET) is approximately 18,212 sq ft — below the 25,000 sq ft threshold at which Local Law 97 emissions caps apply.
Buildings under the threshold are not required to file LL84 benchmarking and face no current or 2030 LL97 penalty exposure. Smaller co-ops and condos in this size range are outside the scope of the law as currently written.
For buyers underwriting an apartment in a smaller building like 15 Hudson Yards, LL97 is one variable that simplifies — the building doesn’t face the 2030 emissions cliff that larger Manhattan co-ops and condos do. No regulatory capital pressure stacking onto reserves, no compliance retrofit budget, no per-unit assessment exposure from this law specifically.
That said, buildings under 25k sq ft typically have other characteristics worth understanding — smaller reserves, fewer units to absorb major capital projects (boiler replacement, façade work, elevator modernization), and a concentrated impact when assessments do arrive. The editorial profile of 15 Hudson Yards covers the building-specific operational and financial dynamics in detail.
