A Trusted, HUD-Certified, Housing Counseling Nonprofit Agency in Brooklyn, NY

NHS Brooklyn's Affordable Property Management Program is designed for owners of single family homes and 2- to 4-unit buildings who would like to delegate the day-to-day management and maintenance of their property to a trusted organization with extensive experience maintaining and rehabilitating Brooklyn properties.

 

Eligibility:

• The property must be located in Brooklyn

• The property must have no more than 4 units.

• The property may include some commercial space beyond the 1 to 4 residential units.  

• Owners may be "absentee": that is, they do not need to live on the property.

• Property may or may not have tenants: the program accommodates both scenarios.   

​

The program will help owners by: 

​

• ​Proposing a plan for how to reduce operating expenses, such as property insurance, equipment, and utility bills

• Managing upkeep of the property year-round, effectively and efficiently

• Track finances to avoid unexpected expenses

​

If the owner has tenants, the program will help by:

• Collecting rent and fielding calls from tenants 24/7

• Increase the value of their property

• Retain the property as a family asset

• Overcome economic hardships due to COVID-19

​

Professional and technical program services include: 

​

• Securing estimates from licensed, insured contractors and project management of their work once hired

• Counseling to refinance the property; secure a reverse mortgage; or avoid foreclosure or the threat of foreclosure, as appropriate

• Referrals to tenants, if the building has affordable rental units 

• Education to develop owners' property management skills

​

You do not have to live in the building to use this service.
