The Compliance Challenge for NYC Property Owners
Managing compliance for NYC properties means tracking regulatory requirements from multiple agencies simultaneously. DOB conducts inspections and issues violations for construction code issues. HPD enforces housing code requirements. ECB adjudicates violations and imposes fines. DOF collects taxes and can place liens. Each agency operates on its own timeline and notification system.
For property managers and owners with multiple buildings, staying compliant means constant vigilance. A missed HPD violation can escalate to an emergency repair order. An expired permit can trigger a stop-work order. An unpaid ECB fine can become a lien against the property.
Save Your Buildings and Get Compliance Alerts
RegWatch's portfolio monitoring feature tracks all your properties and alerts you when compliance issues arise. Add your buildings to your portfolio and receive notifications for:
- New violations (DOB, HPD, ECB)
- Violation status changes (cited, resolved, dismissed)
- Permit status updates (issued, expired, sign-off)
- Tax balance changes and new liens
- C of O expirations
- Health score changes
Each building gets a health score based on its current compliance status, helping you prioritize attention where it's needed most. The dashboard provides a portfolio-wide view of compliance status, making it easy to report to ownership, investors, or management companies.
Proactive Compliance Management
Reactive compliance is expensive — violations that escalate, fines that accrue interest, and emergency repairs that cost multiples of planned maintenance. RegWatch enables proactive compliance management by giving you early warning of emerging issues and a complete audit trail of regulatory activity across your portfolio.
