How to find who owns any NYC building

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, 295 Madison Avenue comes to about 772 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 2,283 tons for 2024 to 2029 (34% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 810 tons and the same energy use counts as about 466 tons, still under the limit.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 301,128 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.

Who owns 295 Madison Avenue?

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 295 MADISON PROPERTY OWNER LLC as the owner of record of 295 Madison Avenue (BBL 1012750050). 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.

Who are the tenants at 295 Madison Avenue?

Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at 295 Madison Avenue. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: INNOVATE CORP. (VATE). One investment manager files 13F holdings reports from the address: Heights Point Management, LP.

The deed is ACRIS document 2013090501409001 (BBL 1012750050) 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.

What is the energy grade of 295 Madison Avenue?

295 Madison Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 93 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 93 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 36 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 85.3 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,064 metric tons of CO2e (3.53 kg per square foot).

Does 295 Madison Avenue meet Local Law 97?

At its 2024 energy use, 295 Madison Avenue comes to about 772 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 2,283 tons for 2024 to 2029 (34% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 810 tons and the same energy use counts as about 466 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.
