OATH / ECB Violations

OATH violations come from city agencies — DOB, FDNY, DSNY, DOHMH, DEP — and often require a hearing, cure submission, settlement, or Certificate of Correction. We represent building owners and managing agents at every stage: review, response strategy, stipulation, mitigation, or full hearing.

  • DOB violations + Certificates of Correction
  • FDNY fire-safety summonses
  • DSNY commercial waste violations

NYC Housing Courts handle non-payment proceedings, holdovers, access issues, HP actions, and rent-regulation disputes. We represent landlords and tenants across the city, with practical strategy for filings, negotiations, court appearances, and settlement.

  • Non-payment + holdover proceedings
  • Rent-stabilization + Loft Law
  • HPD violations + repair orders

Real Estate Transactions

Buying or selling NYC property?

Real Estate Transactions

NYC closings need careful attorney review of the contract, title, closing documents, and, when applicable, board packages and lender materials. We handle co-op, condo, multi-family, mixed-use, and commercial transactions with the same attorney guiding the deal from contract to closing.

  • Co-op + condo board approval
  • Multi-family + mixed-use deals
  • Commercial closings
  • Commercial leases
  • Title review + lender coordination

Civil Litigation

Other legal dispute or contract issue?

Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is for disputes that need formal legal action or a credible threat of it. We handle contract disputes, property-related claims, judgment enforcement, and business matters in New York courts, with early attention to leverage, cost, and the likely path to resolution.

  • Contract + business disputes
  • Judgment enforcement
  • Property litigation
  • Pre-litigation negotiation
