Apartment Building Renovation Services Across the Five Boroughs
Property owners across the city often watch operating budgets erode as outdated units sit vacant between tenants, draining monthly cash flow. Melani General Contractor restores rentable square footage through bulk-priced multi-unit construction that raises achievable rents throughout the metropolitan area.
Pre-War Building Restoration
Pre-war structures across the region command premium rents once mechanical systems and finishes meet current tenant expectations. Our team preserves architectural detail that supports above-market pricing while upgrading systems landlords need for long-term hold strategies.
Walk-Up Apartment Building Upgrades
Three to six story walk-ups dominate investor portfolios throughout the five boroughs, and turnover speed directly determines annual yield on each property. We sequence staircase, hallway, and unit work so collected rent continues from occupied apartments while vacant units return to market within compressed windows.
Mid-Rise Residential Construction
Elevator buildings between seven and twelve stories typically generate the strongest refinancing appraisals in this part of the country after full renovation. We coordinate freight elevator windows, material lifts, and waste haul-out around the operational schedule that protects existing tenant retention.
Mixed-Use Property Renovation
Buildings combining ground-floor retail with residential units above produce two income streams that investors rarely want to interrupt simultaneously. Our project managers stage retail and residential work in sequences that maintain commercial rent collection and residential occupancy throughout the construction period.
Apartment Building Repair and Construction Management
Deferred maintenance compounds quickly in older urban properties, where a leaking parapet can damage twenty units before anyone notices the source. Melani General Contractor performs full-building rehabilitation that addresses structural, mechanical, and cosmetic concerns simultaneously throughout the city.
Roof and Facade Restoration
Local Law 11 inspection cycles force property owners across the boroughs to address brick, cornice, and lintel conditions on a five-year schedule. We handle the scaffold permit, the repointing work, and the DOB sign-off documentation under one contract.
Lobby and Common Area Buildouts
First impressions affect rental rates throughout the metropolitan housing market, and tired lobbies often suppress what owners can charge per square foot. Our finish carpenters and tile crews modernize entryways, mailbox banks, and corridor lighting within tight occupancy windows.
Plumbing and Electrical Risers
Vertical mechanical infrastructure ages out of code roughly every fifty years in buildings throughout the region. We replace cast iron stacks, copper risers, and aluminum branch wiring on a floor-by-floor schedule that keeps water and power on for every tenant.
Boiler Room and Utility Upgrades
Heating plant failures during winter generate HPD violations within hours across the city. Our mechanical division installs high-efficiency boilers, hot water heaters, and submetering systems that reduce annual fuel costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Project duration depends on building size, scope, and tenant occupancy status across the metropolitan area. A twenty-unit walk-up with phased turnovers generally runs eight to fourteen months from permit filing through final DOB sign-off.
Our licensed expediters file all required permits, schedule inspections, and manage Local Law 11, 97, and 87 compliance documentation throughout the five boroughs. Property owners receive completed paperwork suitable for refinancing, sale, or insurance review.
Phased scheduling allows most common area, facade, and mechanical work to proceed with full occupancy across NYC apartment buildings. Individual unit interiors require vacancy during active construction, which we coordinate around lease expiration dates.
Our project portfolio across the region includes properties ranging from six-unit walk-ups to one-hundred-unit elevator buildings. Larger developments may require dedicated site supervision, which we include in projects over forty units.
We attend board meetings, submit insurance certificates, and follow alteration agreement requirements common to co-op and condo buildings throughout NYC. Our project managers maintain direct communication with building managing agents during construction.
Payment schedules align with project milestones rather than calendar dates, which protects owner cash flow during long-duration construction across the metropolitan housing market. We accept standard construction draw schedules from approved lenders and offer direct billing options for cash-funded projects.
