Your building
has no record.
We change that.

Edifice Ledger gives every commercial building a permanent digital record — organized compliance documentation, physical system specs, and transaction history that follows the building forever, regardless of who owns it.

The problem

Buildings have no memory. Records scatter. Owners pay for it.

A commercial building changes hands four times in forty years. Every transition scatters records further — into email inboxes, retired contractors' hard drives, old property management software, and filing cabinets thrown out at closing.

When a compliance deadline arrives, a building goes to market, or a lender orders a PCA, someone reconstructs years of documentation from scratch. Every time. That reconstruction costs money, delays transactions, and creates legal exposure that compounds with every compliance cycle.

Edifice Ledger ends this permanently.

01
Compliance penalties accumulate daily
Missing a BEPP tune-up deadline by six months costs over $75,000 in fines. NYC's Local Law 97 charges $268 per metric ton over the emissions cap. 63% of covered NYC buildings currently exceed their 2030 limits.
02
Missing records kill transactions
Open permits, missing inspection certificates, and undocumented renovations surface in due diligence and reduce sale prices — or kill deals entirely. Every gap is a negotiating chip for the buyer.
03
Operations depend on institutional memory
When a property manager leaves, the building's history goes with them. One-hour repairs become multi-day investigations when no one knows what was installed, by whom, or where the shutoff valve is.
04
Undocumented buildings cost more to finance
Lenders apply conservative assumptions to buildings without documented histories — higher rates, lower LTV ratios, larger repair escrows withheld at closing. The cost compounds at every refinancing event.

How it works

One enrollment. The Ledger does the rest.

01
Enroll your building
Enter your building's address. Within two minutes, the system auto-populates your Ledger from public records — permit history, assessor data, zoning, FEMA flood zone, and prior energy benchmarking scores.
County assessor records — owner, area, year built, value
City permit history — every permit ever pulled
Zoning classification and FEMA flood zone
Prior ENERGY STAR benchmarking scores
02
The platform maintains itself
Utility data flows in automatically via Green Button API. Contractors upload service reports directly via their own portal. The compliance engine tracks every deadline across every jurisdiction simultaneously.
Green Button utility API — monthly data flows automatically
Contractor upload portals — no owner relay required
Compliance alerts at 90, 30, and 7 days
Pre-filled compliance forms — one-click approval
03
The Ledger transfers with the building
When you sell or refinance, the complete record generates a one-click due diligence package. On sale, the full history transfers to the new owner — permanently.
Due diligence package generated in 30 seconds
~20% faster transaction close

What's inside every Ledger

Six permanent categories. Every document that matters.

The Ledger organizes everything a building has ever been, owned, and operated — across its full lifetime.

🏛️
Identity & Ownership
The permanent legal record of what the building is and who has owned it.
  • Deed and title chain
  • Certificate of occupancy
  • Ownership history with sale dates
  • Parcel ID and assessor data
⚙️
Physical Systems
Every major system — what was installed, when, by whom, and its current condition.
  • Architectural and MEP drawings
  • HVAC specs, serial numbers, service history
  • Electrical panel schedules
  • Roof type, R-value, warranty
⚖️
Compliance
Every regulatory filing, certification, and deadline across all jurisdictions.
  • BEPP benchmarking and tune-up records
  • LL97 / BERDO / BEPS filings
  • ENERGY STAR score history
  • Violation history and resolutions
🔧
Operations
The maintenance record that proves the building has been cared for properly.

The financial history that lenders, buyers, and tax advisors rely on.
  • Mortgage history and current financing

Why now

The compliance environment has one direction.

"
Buildings once required benchmarking for transparency. Now cities use that data to mandate building improvements through performance standards. The direction is unmistakable.

"
Total fines faced by buildings increase an average of 82% between the first and second compliance periods. Organized documentation in cycle one means dramatically lower exposure in cycle two.

Information should live with a building forever rather than vanishing into inboxes, getting lost with previous advisors, or being scattered across drives and platforms.
