The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 275 SEVENTH AVENUE BUILDING LLC as the owner of record of the Lefcourt Clothing Center (BBL 1008010001). 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. Deeds and mortgages for the lot are public in ACRIS, the city's property records system.

Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at the Lefcourt Clothing Center. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: AMALGAMATED FINANCIAL CORP. (AMAL). One investment manager files 13F holdings reports from the address: AMALGAMATED BANK. Private companies do not file with the SEC, so the full list of tenants is longer, and a company can also report a building it owns.

The Lefcourt Clothing Center reported an ENERGY STAR score of 83 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 83 earns a B. 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 55.5 kBtu per square foot, 38% below the national median of 89.7 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 3,529 metric tons of CO2e (5.86 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Lefcourt Clothing Center comes to about 2,750 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 5,024 tons for 2024 to 2029 (55% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,792 tons and the same energy use counts as about 1,668 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.
