Compliance and certifications

You shouldn’t have to struggle to navigate New York City’s web of multifamily housing laws or worry that your property manager will miss an inspection deadline resulting in a violation. Our in-house Compliance Department helps resolve disputes and violations, actively monitors local law updates, and tracks deadlines to prevent future violations.
 

Emergent local laws that impact multifamily rental buildings

We use InCheck by SiteCompli, a virtual platform that tracks the status of building inspections, permit expiry, violations, and complaints. InCheck also generates building-wide reports to track overall compliance and generate required logs for HPD, FDNY, and the DOB.

Using the platform, our managers can schedule combined inspections to simplify the process and reduce the inconvenience for residents who may become frustrated with numerous requests to enter their apartments.
 

 

We maintain a robust internal education program to help our property managers and your building staff stay on top of New York’s evolving regulations.

Our compliance education courses include:
  • OSHA training
  • NYSERDA building operations and maintenance training
  • Preventive maintenance and inspection training
  • Emergency preparedness training
  • Gas safety training for superintendents and residential building staff
  • New York State-mandated anti-sexual harassment training and conflict resolution training
     

Our goal is to make things easy for building owners and free up valuable time for your property manager to focus on day-to-day building operations and ongoing projects. Contact FirstService Residential today.
