Property Management Services in Brooklyn

One team, every part of your building

Managing a New York City rental building means juggling leasing, tenant relations, repairs, accounting, and a moving target of city regulations. At Yak Management, all of it lives under one roof — and a principal stays personally involved with your property, not a call center.

We're a boutique firm that grew out of the residential brokerage Pear NYC, so leasing is in our DNA. But over nearly four years and close to 400 units, we've built a full-service operation that covers everything an owner in Brooklyn or greater NYC needs.

What we handle

Our services work together as a single system:

• Full-service property management — day-to-day operations, owner reporting, and vendor coordination.
• Tenant placement & screening — credit, income, rental history, and background review to place qualified renters.
• Rent collection & financial reporting — transparent, portal-based accounting through AppFolio.
• Property maintenance & repairs — prioritized by urgency, with immediate emergency response.
• Leasing & marketing — brokerage-grade listings that routinely fill vacancies fast.

Rent-stabilized & voucher specialists

Most Brooklyn managers handle either rent-stabilized buildings or government-voucher tenancies — rarely both, and rarely well. We do both, which is what makes us the right fit for owners of regulated and subsidized housing:

• Rent-Stabilized Property Management — DHCR registration and annual filings, legal-rent and preferential-rent tracking, lease-renewal compliance, and MCI/IAI documentation.
• Section 8 Property Management — HQS inspection prep, RFTA and HAP-contract handling, NYCHA owner-portal management, and voucher-holder placement.
• CityFHEPS Property Management — HRA lease-rider process, habitability compliance, and payment coordination.
• Government-Subsidized Housing Management — an umbrella for Section 8, CityFHEPS, FHEPS, HASA, and HAVP, with a side-by-side program comparison.

Built for NYC's toughest buildings

What sets us apart is regulatory depth. Rent-stabilized and subsidized housing is our specialty, and we stay current on rent stabilization, HPD, DHCR registration, Fair Housing, and landlord-tenant law. That expertise is rare among generic managers — and it protects both your compliance and your bottom line.

We answer owners the same day when possible and tenants within 24 hours. When something breaks at 2 a.m. in January, someone who actually cares is on it.
