The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists ELK REALTY LLC as the owner of record of the Taylor Building (BBL 1008230055).

The Taylor Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 92 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 92 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 40.1 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 91.4 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 672 metric tons of CO2e (3.95 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Taylor Building comes to about 548 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 1,264 tons for 2024 to 2029 (43% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 483 tons and the same energy use counts as about 375 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.
