Check out the service benefits offered by our NYC property management company.
Stop! Don’t Sell!
Thinking about selling your property? Give R.E.M. Residential a chance first! Don’t lose your valuable investment because of a momentary lapse. We will turn your property into a solid headache-free return on investment. Think yours is beyond help? We took over a building in Inwood with over 600 violations and not only transformed the building, we transformed the entire neighborhood. The property is extremely financially successful today.
Think that is a one-off? We took over a 20 unit property with almost 200 violations and on our first day we were presented with an HPD order stating that we were placed on the AEP (Alternative Enforcement Program). That means that we had to cure all the violations within 4 months or face huge fines due to the prior mismanagement of the property. We worked closely with the residents and were able to resolve every violation and now the building is running smoothly, with both residents and landlord happy.
It’s not how much money you spend on improvements but the time and devotion spent. We know how to deal with residents and work with them so they don’t call the city before calling us. We hire great staff that are effective and approachable. We address tenant issues promptly. We are meticulous with our paperwork. Our approach has been proven time and again. Quite simply, our strategies work.
While organizations such as CHIP and RSA represent Landlords and do an outstanding job at it, the responsibility to help a Landlord falls on management. By continually inventing and proposing ideas to help our clients towards a common goal, R.E.M. Residential eliminates the struggles many Landlords are now facing.

The Disadvantage of Self Managed Properties
Are you managing your own properties? Are you getting tangled in all the new rules? Does advice from family, friends and casual legal advisers backfire? Do you have complaints and violations that you feel are unfair or unexpected?
If you are managing your own properties – because of the large volume of work to be done and new laws to keep track of – chances are there is room for improvement. It doesn’t just take you – it takes a team! If a self managing Landlord or a management company is not absolutely adept in the rent regulation laws it could result in ruinous costs and repercussions. Owners of small or family owned properties can find themselves embroiled in the onslaught of new legislation such as rent stabilization riders, new FDNY rules, and a whole host of new rules and regulations.
If a self managing Landlord or a management company is not absolutely adept in the rent regulation laws it could result in ruinous costs and repercussions. One violation alone can cost more than several months of management fees.
