The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists NW 100 BROADWAY PROPERTY OWNER LLC as the owner of record of the American Surety Company Building (BBL 1000460003). Big buildings are usually held through a company set up for that one property, so the name on the roll can differ from the landlord's brand or the managing agent. Deeds and mortgages for the lot are public in ACRIS, the city's property records system.

The American Surety Company Building last sold in August 2013 for $150 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. MM 100 BROADWAY II LLC sold it to NW 100 BROADWAY PROPERTY OWNER LLC. That comes to about $412 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2013081901169001 (BBL 1000460003) in the city's property records. A sale of the company that owns a building is not recorded as a deed, so it would not show there.

The American Surety Company Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 87 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing. Under Local Law 33, as amended by Local Law 95 of 2019, a score of 85 or higher earns an A, 70 to 84 a B, 55 to 69 a C and under 55 a D, so 87 earns an A. The Department of Buildings assigns the grade a building posts, so the posted label can differ if a filing was corrected. Its site energy use came to 32.7 kBtu per square foot, 47% below the national median of 62 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,382 metric tons of CO2e (3.64 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the American Surety Company Building comes to about 1,013 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 2,877 tons for 2024 to 2029 (35% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,021 tons and the same energy use counts as about 528 tons, still under the limit. This is an estimate from the owner's 2024 benchmarking filing using the coefficients and per-use limits in the law and the Department of Buildings rule, at $268 per ton over. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.
