22,774 New York buildings are in open benchmarking violation

The record was public the whole time

New York City publishes the list of buildings carrying an open benchmarking violation, and 22,774 of them are on it. Reading that list costs nothing. Getting an answer out of it, or out of the federal rule text an importer has to cite on a certificate, is the part nobody has done for you.

Agentwire

Agentwire indexes agent tools other people have already shipped, the MCP servers and coding agent frameworks developers install. Agentwire posts one only after two separate things vouched for it: a list somebody else maintains picking it up, a Hacker News thread carrying it, or how fast it climbed. Every item credits the author and links to their repository, and nothing on the site is paid. Agentwire

BenchFile

BenchFile files the overdue NYC Local Law 84 benchmarking report for a building that already has a violation open, then keeps filing it before 1 May every year after. It's for the owner or managing agent watching $500 post every quarter, to a $2,000 annual cap, until the report lands. You get the report submitted through ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and the city's dated proof the violation cleared: $149 once, then $49 a year to stay filed. BenchFile

BlockDex

BlockDex searches inside the shadcn registries rather than across them, so finding one date picker stops meaning opening thirty sites. It's for a React developer picking a component: each one gets a page with the install command, its dependencies, and whether it is actually free, which BlockDex settles by asking that item's own install address for the source. Nothing there is paid and it takes no account. BlockDex

CertScope

CertScope determines which CPSC rules apply to each SKU you import, then builds the certificate your customs broker files at entry. It's for the small importer who has to name the rules on the certificate and whose broker will not make that call for them. You get a determination memo per SKU and a certificate carrying the seven elements 16 CFR 1110.11(a) requires, delivered as PDFs, at $29 for one SKU and $99 for up to ten. CertScope
