How we help

What we can take off your plate.

From a single issue to an entire function, our team brings deep knowledge of New York buildings, agencies and vendors.

Compliance & violations

Stay ahead of city deadlines instead of paying fines for missing them.

  • HPD, DOB and FDNY violations researched and cleared
  • Local Laws 11, 87, 97 and 152 deadlines tracked
  • Filings and inspections handled

Call us when: a notice arrives, or you're not sure what's due this year.

Repairs & projects

Everything from a roof replacement to a lobby refresh, managed from start to finish, so you pay a fair price for work done right.

  • Scopes, bids and contractor selection — architect-reviewed projects included
  • Budgets, schedules and change orders
  • Apartment turnovers, flooring and painting
  • On site while the work happens

Call us when: you have a project coming up and no one to run it.

Building & staff

A clear look at how your building is really running, and a plan to keep it in shape.

  • Building walkthroughs and condition reviews
  • Preventive maintenance and capital planning
  • Oversight of supers, porters and handymen
  • Con Edison and energy cost savings

Call us when: things keep breaking, or you can't be there to check.

Leasing

We're licensed brokers, so leasing is handled in-house — residential and commercial, from first showing to signed lease.

  • Pricing and vacancy strategy
  • Listings, showings and screening
  • Rent-stabilized, rent-controlled and free-market leases and renewals

Call us when: a unit has been vacant longer than it should be.

Technology & AI

Simple, affordable tools that save you hours — set up for a building your size, not a 5,000-unit portfolio.

  • Choosing and setting up management software
  • AI and automation for rent, requests and reminders
  • Getting off spreadsheets and paper

Call us when: admin work is eating your week.

Not sure where it fits?

If it's part of owning or running a New York building, we've likely dealt with it. Tell us what's going on and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Not just advice

We show up at your building.

You can't be everywhere. We're based in Manhattan and do the in-person work that usually falls through the cracks.

On site during construction

Progress checks and quality control while the work happens, not after the invoice arrives.

Meeting vendors for you

We meet contractors at the building, agree on the scope in person and hold them to it.

Keeping staff on track

Regular visits with your super and building staff to check standards, routines and follow-through.

About Keyholder

Running New York buildings since 1998.

We've spent more than 25 years managing real estate in New York City, and we've handled every issue on this page ourselves. We've worked alongside supers, built a deep bench of trusted vendors and partnered with some of the top real estate attorneys in Manhattan and the surrounding area.

Now we bring that experience to owners and managers who need it — for a project, a season or as long as it helps.

Every type of residential building

Rent-controlled, rent-stabilized and free-market.

Commercial tenants of every size

From mom-and-pop shops to national brands.

Renovations, large and small

From architect-reviewed projects to apartment turnovers.

Licensed real estate brokers

We manage our own leasing, start to finish.

Local law and AI specialists

Compliance deadlines and modern tools, handled.

Energy and cost savings

Con Edison programs and savings across the building.

Why Keyholder

Lower your costs without lowering your standards.

Most savings come from doing things right the first time — with experienced people who bill only for the help you actually need. Here's how that compares with hiring in-house or signing on with a large firm.
