STRATCO was formed in 2012
as a response to the glaring need in the market for a specialist who can provide white-glove service in the landlord-tenant relationship. Our clients are owners who don’t have the time, resources, experience, and knowledge on how to navigate the dynamics of a building community and the rent regulatory laws.

STRATCO functions as an intermediary
between property owners and tenants in re-creating a community established on harmony, respect, transparency, and trust. STRATCO works hand-in-hand with property owners, management, contractors, and legal counsel to ensure that the client is abiding by all applicable laws, codes, and regulations. STRATCO is committed to ensuring all residents in their clients’ buildings are being provided the needed services and human connection while bridging the gap of opposing goals of landlord and tenant relationship. STRATCO is not an attorney and does not provide legal advice, it provides design and human relations in oftentimes a neglected aspect in the landlord/tenant relationship. STRATCO is not a private investigation firm.

STRATCO abides by all regulations
associated with NYC and NYS laws and codes. STRATCO is committed to honoring the dignity and lives of New York’s residents. STRATCO is committed to having its clients operate with the highest operational standards and ethics. STRATCO is committed to having the building ownership, management, and tenancy establish a high level of trust, mutual respect, and cohesiveness by project completion.

Cultural Reach & Understanding
As shown in the table below, residents living in rent stabilized units are more likely to have a language, educational attainments, and demographic differences that most owners do not know to address. Thus leading to unnecessary conflict, and disputes that can be prevented. Understanding the demographics and unique challenges in your building may be utilized to create a meaningful plan, thus leading to a collaborative win/win solution.
