Source: NYC Department of Finance, Property Valuation and Assessment Data (2026/27 roll; owner names as the roll records them, which cuts some long names short), pulled 2026-10-16; tax rate from the Department of Finance tax rates page, checked 2026-09-28. 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.

Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated

Local Law 97 emissions limit

At its 2024 energy use, 245 Park Avenue comes to about 8,914 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 12,038 tons for 2024 to 2029 (74% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 4,305 tons and the same energy use counts as about 5,753 tons, about 1,449 tons over, or an estimated $388,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions.

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.
