Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31; counts are by tax lot, as the owners filed them. The 2025 filing was due June 1, 2026, so a storefront vacant then may have been leased since.

How to find who owns any NYC building

Source: NYC Department of Finance, Property Valuation and Assessment Data (2026/27 roll; owner names as the roll records them, which cuts some long names short), pulled 2026-10-16; tax rate from the Department of Finance tax rates page, checked 2026-09-28. 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.

Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated

Local Law 97 emissions limit

At its 2024 energy use, 708 Third Avenue comes to about 1,722 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 3,000 tons for 2024 to 2029 (57% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,058 tons and the same energy use counts as about 1,113 tons, about 55 tons over, or an estimated $15,000 a year unless the building cuts its emissions.

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.

Who owns 708 Third Avenue?

The NYC Department of Finance's 2026/27 assessment roll lists 708 THIRD AVENUE ASSOCIATES, LLC as the owner of record of 708 Third Avenue (BBL 1012990033). 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.

Who are the tenants at 708 Third Avenue?

Leasemark does not have the building's tenant roster, but SEC filings name companies with offices at 708 Third Avenue. One public company reports the address as its principal executive office: TELADOC HEALTH, INC. (TDOC). One investment manager files 13F holdings reports from the address: Rubric Capital Management LP. 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.

708 Third Avenue last sold in May 2007 for $74.2 million, according to the deed recorded with the city. CLEMONS PROPERTIES PARTNERS, LP sold it to 708 THIRD AVENUE ASSOCIATES, LLC. That comes to about $206 per square foot of floor area. The deed is ACRIS document 2007051500650002 (BBL 1012990033) 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.

What is the energy grade of 708 Third Avenue?

708 Third Avenue reported an ENERGY STAR score of 89 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 89 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 65 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 130.5 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 2,375 metric tons of CO2e (6 kg per square foot).

Does 708 Third Avenue meet Local Law 97?

At its 2024 energy use, 708 Third Avenue comes to about 1,722 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 3,000 tons for 2024 to 2029 (57% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 1,058 tons and the same energy use counts as about 1,113 tons, about 55 tons over, or an estimated $15,000 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.

Is there construction at 708 Third Avenue?
