Source: NYC Department of Finance, Storefronts Reported Vacant or Not (Local Law 157), annual filings for 2019 to 2024, pulled 2026-10-09. 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 2024 filing was due June 3, 2025, so a storefront vacant then may have been leased since. A vacant storefront is not always on the market, and none here is listed on Leasemark unless it shows above.
NYC Department of Finance records

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)
71 West Street'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 26.7 kBtu per square foot, 36% below the national median of 41.6 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 275 metric tons of CO2e (3.07 kg per square foot).

Source: NYC Department of Buildings, DOB NOW: Build Approved Permits, pulled 2026-10-09 (permits issued through 2026-10-06).
