The 13 Best Property Management Companies in New York

XL Real Property Management suits owners of individual apartments, townhouses and pied-à-terres who want a hands-off arrangement. Since 2012 the firm has managed units and rental buildings of up to 50 apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Services cover rent invoicing and collection, lease renewals, inspections, turnover work and 24/7 emergency help. Owners renting out a co-op unit also get help with the board application, a step that often slows down new leases.

R.E.M. Residential suits owners of rent-regulated and mixed-use buildings who need leasing and compliance under one manager. Its teams run multifamily rentals, co-op and condo buildings and retail space across New York City, Westchester and northern New Jersey. Managers visit properties every two weeks, and owners receive monthly financial reports through AppFolio. Landlords with stabilized apartments can lean on its rent regulation compliance work, an area where mistakes are costly.

ProRealty suits small condo associations and individual condo owners in north Brooklyn. Since 2005 the Greenpoint firm has managed HOA and condo buildings, rented out units for their owners and run multifamily rentals. Each property manager typically handles fewer than 25 properties, which keeps portfolios small and contact direct. Owners curious about rent levels can start with a free rent analysis before asking for a management quote.

Smart Key suits small and mid-size landlords who want full-service rental management priced as a share of rent. Fees start at 5 percent of monthly rent and depend on unit count, service level and complexity. The team screens and places tenants, collects rent and arrears, renews leases and handles DOB and HPD compliance. Landlords who accept CityFHEPS vouchers get help coordinating the program, which comes with its own paperwork and inspections.

Harlem Property Management suits co-op boards, especially HDFC co-ops, that need a managing agent fluent in city compliance. Operating since 1999, the firm manages co-ops, condos and HDFC buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. It tracks DOB, FDNY, HPD and Local Law obligations, including Local Law 11 facades and Local Law 97 emissions, and handles tax abatement work. Its own handymen and janitorial staff mean small repairs need not wait for outside contractors.

NYC Best Property Management suits Brooklyn boards and owners who prefer a smaller, locally focused manager. Working from Luquer Street in Carroll Gardens since 2010, it manages condos, co-ops and rental units, along with single-family homes and larger developments. Services span budgets and dues collection, building upkeep, staffing, legal compliance, insurance guidance and resident programs. Each proposal is drafted with pricing for the specific building, so expect a request form before any figure.

My Property Man suits small Brooklyn condo associations that want management, cleaning and compliance from one company. The firm manages condominium buildings in Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Gowanus, Park Slope, Bed-Stuy and Bushwick, and also handles rentals for unit owners. Services include common charge collection, monthly statements, boiler, elevator and fire system inspections and 24/7 emergency repairs. Janitorial work with DSNY-compliant waste handling and snow removal is available, so buildings need fewer separate vendors.

BJD Property Management suits investors who own multifamily buildings and want returns reviewed, not just rent collected. Working from Brooklyn and Rockefeller Center, it manages investment properties in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. The team places tenants in vacant units, collects rent, pays expenses, runs routine inspections and handles maintenance with 24/7 tenant communication. Owners also receive ongoing analysis and recommendations, useful when weighing upgrades or rent levels.

Boards track finances, action items, meetings and votes in the Daisy Dashboard, while residents use the Daisy Neighbors app. Boards switching from another managing agent get dedicated support with the transition.

Maxwell-Kates suits established co-op and condo boards, including landmarked and Mitchell-Lama buildings, that want deep in-house resources. Founded in 1986 and part of Associa since 2019, the firm manages residential buildings across the New York area. In-house counsel, tax certiorari consulting, mechanical systems staff and a financial services desk for mortgages and refinancing support its boards. Buyers and brokers can look up each building's board package requirements and fees online, which speeds up sales.
