NYC Department of Finance records
The Department of Finance lists NISON REALTY CORP as the owner of record. For tax year 2026/27 the city values 142 44th Street at $4.94 million and assesses it at $2.22 million. After phase-ins and exemptions its taxable value is $1.94 million; at the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest rate the Department of Finance lists) that comes to about $210,875 a year before abatements, roughly $5.62 per square foot of floor area. Commercial leases here often pass a tenant's share of tax increases over a base year through as additional rent.

The estimate is the taxable value times the class rate. It leaves out abatements, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so the actual bill can differ.

NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)
142 44th Street's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score (no single use that ENERGY STAR scores covers more than half of the floor area), and Local Law 33 letter grades come from that score, so the filing does not yield an A to D grade. Its site energy use came to 96.8 kBtu per square foot. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 300 metric tons of CO2e (7.48 kg per square foot).
Source: NYC Department of Buildings and Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice, NYC Building Energy and Water Data Disclosure for Local Law 84 (2024 filing), pulled 2026-10-09; grade cutoffs from the Department of Buildings energy grades page. Figures are as the owner filed them in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.
Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated
At its 2024 energy use, 142 44th Street comes to about 254 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 304 tons for 2024 to 2029 (84% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 57 tons and the same energy use counts as about 190 tons, about 133 tons over, or an estimated $36,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions.
Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Manufacturing/Industrial Plant 40,125 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.
