The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 401 W. 14TH FEE LLC as the owner of record of 47 Ninth Avenue (BBL 1007120029). 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.

47 Ninth Avenue last sold in December 2005 for $34.5 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. 401 WEST 14TH REALTY LLC sold it to 401 WEST 14TH STREET FEE LLC. The deed is ACRIS document 2005122300197001 (BBL 1007120029) 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.

47 Ninth Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 18 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 18 earns a D. 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 91.5 kBtu per square foot, 47% above the national median of 62.2 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 622 metric tons of CO2e (10.11 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 47 Ninth Avenue comes to about 463 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 466 tons for 2024 to 2029 (99% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 149 tons and the same energy use counts as about 244 tons, about 94 tons over, or an estimated $25,000 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.
