Twelve years in the city’s harder buildings.
YGT Management was founded in 2013 on a narrow thesis — that NYC multifamily, especially the rent-stabilized stock, is under-managed by large platforms and mishandled by absentee owners. We built a firm small enough to answer the phone on the first ring and experienced enough to take the next ECB hearing with the file already in hand.
Three principles.
A principal answers every owner call.
No account executives, no layers. When something matters, it reaches a decision-maker in the building hour, not the business day.
If it happened, there’s a photo of it.
Every work order, every inspection, every tenant interaction is time-stamped and filed. Not for us — for you, your counsel, your lender, and the court when it’s needed.
We say no to the buildings we can’t help.
Absentee owners who won’t fund repairs. Portfolios that use management as a shell for bad underwriting. We pass, politely, so our existing owners get the attention they’re paying for.
A book we can actually look after.
From one building on West 155th to a portfolio across five boroughs.
Our first engagement was a single pre-war six-flat on West 155th, in 2013. The owner had inherited the building from a parent and spent eighteen months watching the violations stack. We took the building, cleared the open HPD file in forty-five days, and renegotiated the cooling tower service contract at half the prior rate.
That owner told a friend. That friend told two more. A decade later, our book is 250 units — still growing, still answered by the same three people who answer the door at West 155th.
We don’t run a franchise. We don’t have a national footprint. We manage NYC buildings by living in NYC, driving to NYC buildings, and knowing the inspector who’s writing the violation.
Let’s meet the building.
We’ll review the rent roll, pull the open violations, and walk the property before we quote a fee. We don’t price a contract sight unseen.
