Advocating New York Tenant Rights in Building Conversions

NYC view of a condo building.When a developer, building owner or management company changes the use of a rental building to a co-op or condo, a conversion occurs. For this to happen legally, certain approvals and permits must be acquired from government agencies.

Tenant rights must always be observed in the case of conversions. If your building is being converted, it is important to seek the advice of an experienced New York conversion attorney who can work in your interest.

The Manhattan law firm of Himmelstein McConnell Gribben & Joseph LLP is a leader in defending tenant rights in co-op and condo conversions. For more information, call us at 929-205-5267.

We represent individual clients and tenant groups involved in:

  • Apartment conversions: When a rental apartment building is converted from single ownership to a co-op or condo
  • Cooperative conversions: When a building is converted from single ownership to a co-op with tenants owning shares of the property
  • Condominium conversions: When a building is being converted from single ownership into a condominium in which individual tenants own individual units
  • Home conversions: When a home is divided into condominium units
  • Manufacturing or commercial conversions: When a building formerly used for manufacturing or commercial purposes is converted to multi-tenant residential use.
