Property Acquisition Due Diligence in NYC

The difference between a good NYC acquisition and an expensive mistake is usually what you learn — or miss — during due diligence. We run thorough, independent due diligence so you close with a full picture, not a hopeful one.

A structured, thorough process

Our due diligence follows a defined checklist covering the essentials NYC deals turn on — title, DOB and HPD records, Certificate of Occupancy, open violations, zoning and as-of-right potential, and the financial and physical condition of the asset. Nothing important gets skipped because the checklist doesn't let it.

The issues that surface late

The problems that derail NYC deals — illegal conversions, open violations, a C of O that doesn't match actual use, rent-regulation exposure, or a looming tax reassessment — are exactly the ones that surface too late without proper diligence. We find them before closing, while you still have leverage to renegotiate or walk.

Independent, on your side

We're not part of the transaction and earn nothing from it closing, so our diligence is genuinely on your side. You get an honest assessment of the risks and their cost, which is what lets you make the decision with confidence instead of crossing your fingers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does your due diligence cover?

Title, DOB and HPD records, Certificate of Occupancy, open violations, zoning and development potential, and the financial and physical condition of the property.

Why not just rely on my broker or attorney?

Attorneys handle legal review and brokers are paid on the deal. We provide independent, conflict-free analysis of the risks — a distinct and complementary perspective.

How long does due diligence take?

It depends on the property, but a full acquisition due-diligence engagement typically runs a few days to a couple of weeks depending on complexity.
