Individual Condo Management in NYC
Individual condo management in NYC is property management for a single condominium unit, carried out for its owner rather than for the building. Your condo board and its managing agent run the building. Alex Ionescu - AIProLuxury looks after your apartment: its upkeep, its systems, its security, and your interests within the building. We act as your owner representative, backed by more than 40 years in Manhattan luxury real estate.

Individual Condo Management vs Building/HOA Management
Many condo owners assume that the building's management company looks after their apartment. It doesn't, and it isn't supposed to. The managing agent hired by your condominium board works for the association. Its job is the common elements: the lobby, the roof, the elevators, the façade, building staff, the reserve fund, and compliance.
A single condo management firm works for one unit owner. We handle what happens inside your walls and represent you in dealings with the building.

What We Manage in Your Condo
As your condo unit manager in NYC, we can take responsibility for:
- Regular inspections covering plumbing, HVAC, appliances, windows, and signs of leaks.
- Preventive maintenance, including filters, seals, caulking, and small repairs before they become large ones.
- Repairs and contractor oversight, with estimates, on-site supervision, and a final inspection of completed work.
- Housekeeping and arrival preparation for owners who use the unit part-time.
- Renovation and design coordination, from alteration agreements to project supervision.
- Smart-home, security, and leak-detection systems.
- Mail, packages, deliveries, and access for technicians.
- Insurance coordination after damage, with documentation and follow-through.
- Bill payment, expense tracking, and regular owner reports.
You decide the level of involvement. Some owners want a complete, hands-off service; others want oversight and emergency cover while they handle the rest.

For Investors & Non-Resident Owners
Many Manhattan condo owners don't live in their units full-time. Condos generally give owners more flexibility than co-ops to rent, lease, and hold property from a distance, which is why they attract investors, international buyers, and second-home owners.
For investors, we coordinate the maintenance and care that keeps a rental unit in excellent condition and tenants satisfied. For absentee and overseas owners, we provide the local presence that building staff cannot: someone who knows the unit, checks on it, and acts in the owner's interest.

Board & Building Coordination
A condo unit doesn't exist in isolation. Nearly everything you do with it, from bringing in a contractor to receiving a large delivery, involves the building. We handle that coordination for you:
- Submitting alteration applications and working within the building's renovation rules and hours.
- Making sure contractors provide the certificates of insurance the building requires.
- Scheduling elevator reservations for deliveries and moves.
- Communicating with the managing agent, superintendent, and front-desk staff.
- Following up on building-caused issues, such as a leak from a common pipe, and making sure your unit is properly restored.
Because we deal with building offices routinely, requests move faster and fewer details get missed.

An Illustrative Example
Consider an owner living abroad who receives a notice that the building will be replacing riser valves on their line. Without representation, they'd need to arrange access, trust that the work was done carefully, and hope nothing was damaged. With us, we meet the plumbers, protect the floors and finishes, check the fixtures once water is restored, and send photos and a short report the same day. The owner reads it with their morning coffee, and that's the end of it.

How Condo Management Fees Are Set
There is no single price for individual condo management, because no two units need the same thing. A one-bedroom that is visited twice a year needs different care than a large family residence with frequent guests or a unit being renovated. Fees depend on factors such as:
- The size and systems of the residence.
- How often the unit is occupied and by whom.
- The inspection schedule and level of reporting you want.
- Whether housekeeping, concierge, or renovation oversight is included.
After a consultation and walkthrough, we provide a written proposal so you know exactly what is covered before you commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Thoughtful answers, clearly explained.
What is individual condo management?
It is management of a single condominium unit on behalf of its owner. It covers upkeep, repairs, inspections, housekeeping, contractor supervision, building coordination, and reporting. It's separate from the condo association's management, which is responsible for common areas and answers to the board.
Does my condo's managing agent take care of my apartment?
Generally, no. The managing agent works for the condo association and handles common elements and building operations. Maintenance and oversight inside your unit is your responsibility, and that's what a single condo management firm handles for you.
Can you manage my condo if I rent it out?
Yes. We can maintain the residence, coordinate repairs and tenant requests, and communicate with the building. Investors can also see our page on condo investment property management in NYC.
Do you manage co-op apartments too?
Yes. Co-ops have different rules around boards, subletting, and alterations, so we cover them on a dedicated page for co-op apartment management in Manhattan.
Do you handle renovations inside a condo?
Yes. We coordinate with designers and contractors, manage the building's alteration requirements, and supervise work on your behalf, drawing on our architecture, design, and new construction services.
