Our lawyers have significant experience performing due diligence reviews of rent regulated buildings in conjunction with  prospective acquisitions, readying a building for sale or mortgage refinancing. Our reports delve deeply into the history of a building and indicate a keen understanding of the rent regulation laws and how they have changed over the last 25 years.

Our clients range from owners of six-unit buildings to owners of building complexes with thousands of units.
