Cooling Tower Registration Deadline Approaching
As a result of the recent unprecedented outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in the South Bronx, the New York City has enacted a new law that commissions the registration of cooling towers, fluid coolers and evaporative condensers with the Department of Buildings (DOB). This law enables the City to track where this equipment is located and how it is maintained. Building owners are mandated by the new law to comply with certain reporting requirements, including registering existing equipment by September 17, 2015.
