The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 185 MARCY NEW OWNER LLC as the owner of record of 185 Marcy Avenue (BBL 3021510006). 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.

185 Marcy Avenue last sold in April 2025 for $28.7 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. 185M HOLDINGS, LLC sold it to 185 MARCY NEW OWNER LLC. That comes to about $500 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2025040700194001 (BBL 3021510006) 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.

185 Marcy Avenue's 2023 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 52.9 kBtu per square foot, 8% below the national median of 57.3 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 301 metric tons of CO2e (4.9 kg per square foot).

At its 2023 energy use, 185 Marcy Avenue comes to about 246 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 438 tons for 2024 to 2029 (56% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 154 tons and the same energy use counts as about 148 tons, still under the limit. This is an estimate from the owner's 2023 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.
