Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31; counts are by tax lot, as the owners filed them. The 2024 filing was due June 3, 2025, so a storefront vacant then may have been leased since. A vacant storefront is not always on the market, and none here is listed on Leasemark unless it shows above.

Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated

Local Law 97 emissions limit

At its 2024 energy use, 12 West 37th Street comes to about 167 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 447 tons for 2024 to 2029 (37% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 156 tons and the same energy use counts as about 119 tons, still under the limit.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 53,909 SF; Retail Store 5,000 SF. It applies the coefficients and per-use limits in Department of Buildings rule 1 RCNY 103-14 and Administrative Code 28-320.3.1.1 (as the Department lists them) and the $268 per ton penalty, checked 2026-10-04. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report: that report can count renewable energy credits, solar and storage deductions and, for 2024 and 2025, the law's occupancy group limits where higher, and penalties can be reduced for good faith efforts.

Change these numbers in the Local Law 97 calculator to see what a cut in energy use would do to the penalty.

A job counts once, when its first permit is issued; renewals are not new work. A build-out groups jobs on the same floors first permitted within 120 days of each other. Costs are the estimates filed with the jobs. Jobs filed before DOB NOW (in the older BIS system) are not counted. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.

What is the energy grade of 12 West 37th Street?

12 West 37th Street reported an ENERGY STAR score of 93 for calendar year 2024 in its Local Law 84 benchmarking filing.

From 2030 the limit drops to 156 tons and the same energy use counts as about 119 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.
