The estimate is the taxable value times the class rate. It leaves out abatements, payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements and charges, so the actual bill can differ.

NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)
Energy use and emissions
636 Eleventh Avenue'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 34.9 kBtu per square foot, 44% below the national median of 61.8 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 1,529 metric tons of CO2e (2.88 kg per square foot).

Local Law 97 emissions limit
At its 2024 energy use, 636 Eleventh Avenue comes to about 1,261 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 4,018 tons for 2024 to 2029 (31% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,427 tons and the same energy use counts as about 889 tons, still under the limit.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 530,130 SF. It applies the coefficients and per-use limits in Department of Buildings rule 1 RCNY 103-14 and Administrative Code 28-320.3.1.1 (as the Department lists them) and the $268 per ton penalty, checked 2026-10-04. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report: that report can count renewable energy credits, solar and storage deductions and, for 2024 and 2025, the law's occupancy group limits where higher, and penalties can be reduced for good faith efforts.
