A simple management service designed for our city's smaller coop and condo buildings. Foundation Mgmt is here for the brownstones, townhomes, loft conversions and carriage houses. The buildings that give our neighborhoods character.
While most management companies seek out huge rental hubs in order to collect fees on top of fees, Foundation Mgmt was built by a small coop board member and is focused only on the needs of residential condos and coops, giving boards the means to operate their buildings as a home rather than a businesses.
Transparent online bookkeeping and strict oversight of all accounts to simplify your monthly common charge payments, pay monthly service bills and vendors, and prep the books in time for tax season.
Ensuring competent and complete maintenance, compliance with all city inspections and safety requirements, and immediate response to any building emergencies.
Oversight of all service vendors and contractors, property repairs, renovations, and upgrades. Experience with NYC Landmarks Conservancy and contractors across specialties.
Foundation Mgmt NYC was founded by Andrew Parker of Brooklyn, NY, and is backed by a team of trusted legal, financial, and contract service advisors.
The idea for Foundation Mgmt was slowly formed during 11 frustrating years in my small coop building in Fort Greene. As a board, we relied on outside management companies because "none of us did this professionally," and we didn't know what we needed to be successful. It became apparent that without the high turnover fees of a huge building, we just weren't worth their time or attention.
While managing a massive NYC Landmarked project without the help of our management company (see our Habitat Magazine article [PDF]), I decided I'd had enough and took over our building's operations in whole. With some extra time afforded by the craziness of 2020, I launched Foundation Mgmt to help those of us that call our buildings a home and not a business, providing the foundational services that best help the board to keep the building operating successfully.
I was a 20-year member of the New York marketing, advertising, and tech worlds, who decided to turn the coop board excuse of "none of us do this professionally" upside down and take it on full time. As an aficionado of anything vintage, patina'd, or preserved, it's a thrill to be able to spend my days working with the architecture and history of our city. When not working with Foundation Mgmt's clients, I'm probably on a bike ride with my wife Megan and 2-year-old Leon, or swearing at my beloved New York Mets.
