Manhattan · New York County
Manhattan property management, leasing and compliance.
Manhattan buildings are older, taller and more regulated than anywhere else: rent-stabilized walk-ups on the Upper West Side and in the Village, pre-war elevator buildings in Washington Heights and Inwood, tenement stock on the Lower East Side and in East Harlem, and the heaviest Local Law 11 and Local Law 97 exposure in the city.
The buildings
What Manhattan owners own.
Tenements and walk-ups, pre-war elevator buildings, converted lofts, mixed-use with ground-floor retail, and a large rent-stabilized share, about half of all Manhattan rentals.

The problems
What goes wrong in Manhattan.
- Local Law 11 / FISP façade cycles and the sidewalk sheds that come with them, the most expensive recurring filing in the borough
- Local Law 97 emissions limits on buildings over 25,000 sq ft, with real penalties from the 2024 reporting year
- Rent-stabilization: DHCR registrations, RGB increases, IAI limits under HSTPA, overcharge and succession claims
- Elevator, boiler and sprinkler annual inspections in buildings that have all three
- Landmarks (LPC) approvals for any exterior work in historic districts

In Manhattan
Yes, and we prefer owners who want them run correctly: annual DHCR registrations filed, leases on the right form with the right riders, increases at exactly the RGB rate, and a clean file for the day a tenant or a buyer asks for it.
We coordinate it: benchmarking, the LL87 audit, the emissions calculation with your engineer, and the filing. Where a building is over the limit we put the retrofit options and their payback in front of you with real numbers.
A percentage of collected rent, agreed per building after a walk-through. No vendor mark-ups and no set-up fee. Leasing is a flat placement fee quoted up front (FARE Act); violation and expediting work is fixed-price per item.
Yes, in every building we manage. Manhattan has fewer voucher placements per building but very high payment standards, a HASA or Section 8 tenant in Washington Heights or East Harlem pays rents that compete with the open market, on time, for years.
