We are co-ops & condo owners across NYC fighting for sustainable & affordable homes
Climate change is an urgent threat affecting all New Yorkers, and we stand behind New York City’s commitment to reducing pollution from our biggest source: buildings. But co-ops and condos face unique challenges in cutting pollution and need help.
That’s why members of the Green Co-op Council are uniting to advocate for policies to make green building improvements more accessible and affordable. We represent shareholders throughout NYC who want to enjoy the benefits of greener buildings to improve our homes, our health, and the environment.
Campaign Victory:
A bigger better J-51 green tax credit!
In September 2026, NYC Council passed Intro 1015 to expand the J-51 program to protect New Yorkers from climate change while also saving them money. Now, hundreds of thousands of homeowners can save money on green upgrades needed to comply with Local Law 97 and make their buildings more comfortable, sustainable, and affordable!
