Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at 512 Madison Avenue. 3 public companies report the address as their principal executive office: JEFFERIES FINANCIAL GROUP INC. (JEF); JEFFERIES CREDIT PARTNERS BDC INC.; and SENIOR CREDIT INVESTMENTS, LLC. 17 investment managers and funds file 13F holdings reports from the address, including Birnam Oak Advisors, LP; ELEMENT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC; and FOURSIXTHREE CAPITAL LP.

512 Madison Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 77 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 77 earns a B. 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 81.8 kBtu per square foot, 34% below the national median of 124 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 8,643 metric tons of CO2e (8.25 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 512 Madison Avenue comes to about 6,286 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 8,842 tons for 2024 to 2029 (71% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 3,820 tons and the same energy use counts as about 3,672 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.
