Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at 555 Madison Avenue. 2 investment managers and funds file 13F holdings reports from the address: Juniper Investment Company, LLC; and KAHN BROTHERS GROUP INC. Private companies do not file with the SEC, so the full list of tenants is longer, and a company can also report a building it owns.

555 Madison Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 91 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 91 earns an A. 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 72.4 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 148.8 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 2,609 metric tons of CO2e (7.06 kg per square foot).

At its 2024 energy use, 555 Madison Avenue comes to about 1,882 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 3,040 tons for 2024 to 2029 (62% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,012 tons and the same energy use counts as about 1,145 tons, about 134 tons over, or an estimated $36,000 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 4 jobs at 555 Madison Avenue.
