The lot is in the C5-3 zoning district. PLUTO lists a built floor area ratio (FAR) of 27.59 and a maximum commercial FAR of 15 for this lot.

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 405 LEXINGTON, L.L.C. as the owner of record of the Chrysler Building (BBL 1012970023). 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 Chrysler Building. 5 investment managers and funds file 13F holdings reports from the address, including North Peak Capital Management, LLC; Northstar Group, Inc.; and Saba Capital Management, L.P.. 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 Chrysler Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 85 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 85 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 38 kBtu per square foot, 44% below the national median of 67.7 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 4,726 metric tons of CO2e (3.68 kg per square foot).

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 1 job at the Chrysler Building. In the last two years, interior work was permitted on one floor (floor 58). The newest build-out, on floor 58, was first permitted in May 2025 (mechanical; filed cost estimate $60,000). These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1012970023. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.

The Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists exemptions covering the whole taxable value of the Chrysler Building, so there is no property tax on the roll to estimate. That is common for government, nonprofit and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) properties. The city's property tax records for BBL 1012970023 show what is actually billed.

For tax year 2026/27, the NYC Department of Finance puts the market value of the Chrysler Building at $375.3 million ($85 million of it land) and its assessed value at $168.9 million, the 45% of market value the city assesses for Class 4 property. The city's market value held steady from 2022/23 to 2026/27.

Owners registered 11 storefronts at the Chrysler Building for December 31, 2025, the newest annual filing the city has published, and 8 of them stood vacant that day.
