Michael Genari Multifamily Investing in NYC: How to Profit from Properties with Permit & Violations
4 March 2025 | 0 replies
.🚨 Red Flag:❌ Buildings with pending lawsuits – Some compliance issues involve legal disputes with the city or tenants.Step 3: Close the Deal & Start the Legalization Process 🏗️Once you acquire the property, the first priority is to resolve violations and legalize any unapproved work.✅ Hire an Architect – Architectural plans must be submitted to the DOB for any structural changes.✅ Expedite Permit Filings – New permits may be required to bring illegal units, extensions, or renovations up to code.✅ Negotiate Fines & Penalties – Some ECB fines can be reduced or dismissed if corrections are made quickly.✅ Apply for Variances (If Needed) – If the building doesn’t comply with current zoning laws, a zoning variance may be required.📌 Why Speed Matters:Multifamily buildings with violations cannot be refinanced or sold easily until compliance issues are resolved.🚨 Red Flag:❌ Delaying compliance work = higher penalties – NYC charges escalating fines for unresolved violations.Step 4: Renovate & Ensure Full Compliance 🔨Once permits are approved, it’s time to start construction and bring the building up to code.✅ Address Safety Issues First – Fire alarms, sprinklers, and structural stability must meet DOB & FDNY regulations.✅ Schedule DOB Inspections – Plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work require multiple approvals before closing permits.✅ Comply with HPD Housing Regulations – If the building has rent-controlled or rent-stabilized tenants, ensure all renovations follow tenant protection laws.📌 Smart Strategy:Renovating to increase unit count (legally) can boost cash flow while fixing violations.🚨 Red Flag:❌ Unauthorized tenant evictions – Rent laws in NYC heavily protect tenants, and improper removals can lead to legal trouble.Step 5: Close Permits, Remove Violations & Secure a Letter of Completion✅Once the work is done, the final step is closing out permits & obtaining a Letter of Completion.✅ Final DOB Inspections – To ensure all corrections meet code.✅ Clear Violations from City Records – DOB, HPD, and ECB must officially dismiss violations.✅ Obtain a Letter of Completion – This proves the building is fully compliant and legally occupied.📌 Why This is Critical:Unresolved violations = major financing & resale issues.

I have a lot of personal experience with BRRRR—both from building my own rental portfolio here in Memphis, TN and from helping both local and out-of-state investors successfully scale their portfolios using this strategy.One of the biggest advantages I’ve been able to offer my clients is structuring deals with hard money lenders in a way that allows them to acquire properties with less than $10,000 out of pocket in most cases which results them in massive cash on cash returns!
