Thousands of NYC buildings have to fix their heating. Be the contractor who calls first.
ColdFront Intel tracks every big building in New York City facing emissions fines, failing boilers or angry tenants, and tells HVAC contractors exactly who to call this week.
The problem
By the time a job hits a bid board, you are one of ten contractors fighting on price.
The best commercial and multifamily jobs go to whoever talks to the owner first. Finding those owners means hours on DOB filings, property records and complaint data spread across a dozen city websites, and most shops do not have anyone with time to dig.
Why now
Local Law 97 is forcing the biggest wave of heating upgrades New York has ever seen.
Buildings over 25,000 sq ft now have carbon limits, and owners pay $268 for every ton they go over, every year. The limits get much tighter in 2030. For a lot of older buildings the fix is new heating equipment: boiler replacements, fuel conversions, heat pumps. The owners know it. They just have not picked a contractor yet.
How it works
We watch the city every week
Emissions filings, boiler registrations, building permits, 311 heat complaints, HPD registrations and violations, and the property records behind them.
Every building gets a score
Those signals combine into one number from 0 to 100 showing how likely a building is to need HVAC work soon.
You see who to call
Owner of record and managing agent on every building, with a plain English reason it made the list.
New leads come to you
The data refreshes every Monday morning, so what moved last week is waiting for you.
