The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 9 EAST 36TH LLC as the owner of record of the Tiffany & Co. Building (BBL 1008660076). 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.

The Tiffany & Co. Building last sold in March 2004 for $42 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. STAHL 6 EAST 37TH LLC sold it to 401 FIFTH LLC. That comes to about $268 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2004031000865003 (BBL 1008660076) 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.

The Tiffany & Co. Building reported an ENERGY STAR score of 60 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 60 earns a C. 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 76.1 kBtu per square foot, 14% below the national median of 88 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,208 metric tons of CO2e (7.7 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, the Tiffany & Co. Building comes to about 971 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 1,188 tons for 2024 to 2029 (82% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 422 tons and the same energy use counts as about 642 tons, about 220 tons over, or an estimated $59,000 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. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report, which can count credits and deductions this estimate cannot.

In the 12 months to October 2026, the Department of Buildings issued first permits for 5 jobs at the Tiffany & Co. Building.

A sidewalk shed permit here is active until January 21, 2027. These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1008660076. A permit is approval to do the work; it does not say who the work is for or whether it is finished.
