The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 32-42 BROADWAY OWNER, LLC as the owner of record of 42 Broadway (BBL 1000220020). 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.

42 Broadway's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score (a campus of several buildings cannot get a score), and Local Law 33 letter grades come from that score, so the filing does not yield an A to D grade. Its site energy use came to 64.8 kBtu per square foot, 14% above the national median of 56.9 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 3,153 metric tons of CO2e (5.72 kg per square foot). The filing covers 2 tax lots together, so these figures are for the whole property.

At its 2024 energy use, 42 Broadway comes to about 2,536 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 4,175 tons for 2024 to 2029 (61% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,482 tons and the same energy use counts as about 1,679 tons, about 197 tons over, or an estimated $53,000 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 30 jobs at 42 Broadway. In the last two years, interior work was permitted on 13 floors (floors 1 to 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 to 17 and 20, the basement, the cellar, the ground floor, the mezzanine and the underground). The newest build-out, on floor 17, was first permitted in October 2026 (construction, mechanical, plumbing, sprinklers; filed cost estimate $561,000). A sidewalk shed permit here is active until November 17, 2026. These are the Department of Buildings' DOB NOW work permits for tax lot 1000220020. 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 a taxable value of $31.1 million for 42 Broadway. At the Class 4 rate of 10.848% (tax year 2025/26, the latest rate the Department of Finance lists), that is about $3.37 million a year, roughly $8.64 per square foot of floor area, before abatements such as ICAP. The city's property tax records for BBL 1000220020 show the actual bill.

For tax year 2026/27, the NYC Department of Finance puts the market value of 42 Broadway at $69 million ($18.6 million of it land) and its assessed value at $31.1 million, the 45% of market value the city assesses for Class 4 property. The city's market value rose 9% from 2022/23 ($63.1 million) to 2026/27.

Owners registered 4 storefronts at 42 Broadway for December 31, 2025, the newest annual filing the city has published, and 1 of them stood vacant that day. A year earlier, none of 3 did. These are the owners' filings with the Department of Finance under Local Law 157, so a storefront vacant on December 31, 2025 may have been leased since. Owners and brokers can list a storefront on Leasemark for free.
