In this dynamic start to 2025, Amanda Gerome, CEO of A+ Electric, joins me as co-host for this special episode of Realty Speak. Together, we welcome Sadie McKeown, President of The Community Preservation Corporation, to discuss electrification and other critical upgrades driving the transformation of NYC buildings toward greater affordability and sustainability.

Our engaging conversation delves into the challenges of complying with NYC Local Laws like Local Law 88, uncovers how to unlock available rebates and offers actionable project and financing strategies for property owners pursuing sustainability for their buildings, both large and small.
