Improving and managing residential real estate in New York City can be difficult. There are complex code requirements from different agencies that change over time; compliance can be costly and time consuming.

Owners of residential buildings don’t always have the experience or the resources to navigate the landscape to reach compliance and profitability, and that is where we bring value.

Here are some examples of value created:

  • Installed new fire alarm and sprinkler systems where the wrong systems were previously installed by the owner

  • Legalized an illegal elevator installed by the owner

  • Legalized an illegal boiler installed by another contractor

  • Prevented a tax lien foreclosure sale, where the owner had defaulted, by negotiating settlements

  • Prevented mortgage foreclosure sales, where the owner was in default, by negotiating with lenders

  • Replaced old boilers and oil tanks with HVAC central air conditioning and heating systems

  • Upgraded plumbing, including new pipes, traps, main, meters and new booster pumps

  • Built handicapped compliant bathrooms

  • Upgraded electrical system, panel boxes, switches, connections to all building systems, and upgraded interior and exterior lighting

  • Replaced old hot water tanks with newer efficient ones

  • Replaced old chimneys with new chimneys and liners

  • Repointed exterior brick and waterproofed exterior

  • Rebuilt multiple roofs

  • Designed and built secure entrances, installed security systems, and key-card access systems

  • Installed commercial grade wifi-systems along with cellular antennas and interior boosters

  • Installed new windows and doors

  • Removed violations and liens associated with conditions that were in violation of code requirements

  • Negotiated settlements of unpaid amounts by owners who mismanaged property and defaulted on obligations to various agencies and creditors

  • Management of residential buildings, which is a 24/7/365 operation that requires a specialized understanding of building systems, residents and stakeholders; it requires prompt, knowledgeable, caring and resourceful responses, which, when done right, creates lasting value
