Expertise in Managing Your Property’s Compliance and Safety

Harlem Property Management is steadfastly committed to ensuring that every façade tells a story not of neglect, but of vigilant care, forward-thinking management, and a continuous commitment to safety, quality, and community.

Understanding Local Law 11

 

New York City’s Local Law 11 is more than a mandate; it’s a commitment to the safety and durability of your building’s exterior.

At Harlem Property Management, we demystify the complexities enveloped within Local Law 11, ensuring your building not only adheres to the legal requirements but also champions the spirit of safety and precaution that the law represents.

Whether your building has been labeled Safe, given a SWARMP status, or deemed Unsafe, our dedicated team will guide your Board through every nuance of the law, ensuring that your understanding transcends compliance and that you are well-equipped to make informed decisions about the façade restoration projects and inspections.

Ensuring Stress-Free Compliance

 

Your path to unfettered compliance begins with impeccable planning and a strategic approach, hallmarks of our service at Harlem Property Management.

We synergize our vast experience with methodical planning to ensure your building always aligns with Local Law 11 compliance. Starting from orchestrating timely and meticulous façade inspections, advising your Board on financing options, to managing the intricate bid process, we insulate you from the stresses and strains typically associated with regulatory compliance.

Our mission is to ensure that the integrity of your building is uncompromised, marrying safety and legal adherence with timeliness and fiscal responsibility and thereby safeguarding your peace of mind.

Proactive Property Management

 

At Harlem Property Management, we offer proactive property management that prioritizes preventative measures and consistent oversight to keep your building perpetually ready for the next inspection and always safe for residents and passersby alike.

We initiate meetings with architectural firms and contractors, whose excellence and reliability are vetted meticulously. Moreover, our project managers don’t merely oversee; they engage, meeting with engineers weekly and ensuring that the restoration and maintenance work adheres to a quality standard that we staunchly advocate.

Acting as a meticulous liaison between the Board and residents, we facilitate transparent communication, ensuring every stakeholder is abreast of the ongoing initiatives, progress, and future endeavors.
