The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists BLACK LARK ENTERPRISES LLC as the owner of record of 444 West 15th Street (BBL 1007120001). 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.

444 West 15th Street last sold in May 2019 for $591.8 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. JAMESTOWN 450 WEST 15TH STREET, L.P. sold it to BLACK LARK ENTERPRISES LLC. That comes to about $2,103 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2019052800159001 (BBL 1007120001) 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.

444 West 15th Street's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR 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 40.6 kBtu per square foot, 49% below the national median of 79 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 813 metric tons of CO2e (2.78 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 444 West 15th Street comes to about 726 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 2,221 tons for 2024 to 2029 (33% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 776 tons and the same energy use counts as about 604 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.
