Happy Labor Day! Hope you’re enjoying the last official weekend of the summer!

New York architecture: it’s not just high-rises. Every building has its own character, from the Upper East Side to the East Village to Park Slope. Providing the best property management to every type of building and owner is what we do best...and why we’ve been doing it for over 100 years. #propertymanagement #coops #condos #rentals #nyc #parkslope #eastvillage #williamsburg #uppereastside #architecture #buildingsofinstagram

Our in-house seminars keep managers up to date on the changes in our industry. That’s one of many reasons that we have the best managers in the industry and they stay with us for decades!

It's imperative that all buildings begin nowif they have not alreadyto learn about their current energy efficiency level and to plan and begin to implement a long-term strategy of compliance in order to avoid paying fines when the enforcement period begins in 2025. Fines will be $268/ton of carbon generated excess to building’s budget. The goal of reducing emissions is a worthy one, but it will certainly take time, effort and significant investment. At DEPM, we will work continuously with our building boards and owners to help meet these requirements as they continue to evolve. For more information on this legislation, visit this link: https://council.nyc.gov/data/green/

Keeping up with New York City’s ever-changing building regulations is a full-time job. That’s why our compliance department is constantly on top of new Local Laws and other safety issues that impact the properties we manage.
