My daughter leased an apartment with Richard handled with her. We had a small issue with her income to required income for lease ratio. Richard worked with me and we found a good solution. She remained a tenant for approximately two years. Great service from Richard and his properties management. She recently moved for a work transfer and again.... Richard made the transition easy. Very professional and nothing but quality.

Is Your Building Ready for Heat Season?
NYC owners must keep apartments at 68°F by day when it's below 55°F outside, and at 62°F overnight, from October 1 to May 31.
September
Boiler inspection and filing
The annual boiler inspection is filed with the Department of Buildings, and any defects have to be corrected and documented back. A service visit is not the inspection, and repairs are far easier in September than in January.
October 1
Heat season starts: the legal temperatures
From 6am to 10pm, apartments must be at least 68°F whenever it is below 55°F outside. From 10pm to 6am, they must be at least 62°F regardless of the outside temperature. Hot water is required all year.
November
Winterizing: pipes, envelope and sidewalks
Protect pipes from freezing, check the roof, windows and common areas, line up a snow-removal plan before the first storm, and give tenants an easy way to report problems.
December – February
Year-end and winter filing deadlines
Several obligations land between late December and mid-February, across more than one agency, through the holidays and the worst weather of the year. The calendar shows which apply to your building.
