The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 355 LEXINGTON LLC as the owner of record of 355 Lexington Avenue (BBL 1012950023). 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.

355 Lexington Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 88 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 88 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 37.7 kBtu per square foot, 49% below the national median of 73.8 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 984 metric tons of CO2e (3.88 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 355 Lexington Avenue comes to about 714 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 1,942 tons for 2024 to 2029 (37% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 700 tons and the same energy use counts as about 408 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.

These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1012950023. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.
