Is your building in trouble?
UHAB has a dedicated team that provides emergency assistance to co-op buildings in distress.
What does a distressed building look like?
Distress might mean a building is facing foreclosure, defaulting on a loan, or behind on taxes. Distress may also mean unpaid water bills that resulted in a lien against the building.
How UHAB can help:
Our consultants solve the complex problems limited-equity co-ops face by:
- Expediting the correction of tax and water and sewer bills
- Obtaining financing for resolving debt or for repair and rehab needs
- Working out other mortgage, tax management or financial issues
- Obtaining J-51 tax abatements for buildings that have completed major capital improvements
UHAB charges a consulting fee for these services. In some cases the fees have been shared by the city, lowered, or waived.
