Local market context in New York

New York sits inside a market where the largest rent stabilized market in north america, strict housing court process, dense institutional ownership, and tenant placement work reflects that. The New York City Housing Court and NY State Division of Housing and Community Renewal handles tenancy issues under New York Real Property Law and Rent Stabilization Code. Trade scope that crosses the code threshold gets a no permit for tenant placement scope. Pre-war walk-up tenement in Williamsburg carries different fault patterns than brick row house in the outer boroughs in Harlem, and we plan parts and labor accordingly.
