NYC Landlord Law & Property Management

The Landlord's Lawyer — Because I'm One Too.

Tenant complaints are at record highs. DHCR overcharge claims are exploding. HSTPA opened a six-year lookback, and the small landlords are the ones getting buried. I'm a NY landlord attorney, property manager, and multifamily owner — I work exclusively with small property owners to clean it up before it costs you the building.

— The Issue

A lawyer who pays the same bills you do.

I'm a landlord attorney, a property manager, and a multifamily owner. Every contract I draft is one I'd want to sign. Every audit I run is one I'd want done on my own building.

Most landlord attorneys have never owned the asset. Most property managers have never read a regulatory order. I sit on both sides — and I built the practice around the small owners the big firms quietly stopped returning calls from.

I'm also active outside New York: I own in West Palm Beach and invest across South Florida. If you're thinking about the same move, I've already made the mistakes.
