Alteration Agreement Compliance

Each cooperative building in the five boroughs maintains its own alteration agreement with specific requirements for shareholders. Our team reviews the agreement, prepares the documentation package, and submits everything before the board's review deadline.

Insurance and Liability Documentation

Boards require certificates of insurance naming the corporation, management company, and sometimes the building's umbrella policy as additional insured parties. We carry the coverage levels NYC co-ops typically demand and produce updated certificates within hours of request.

Architect and Engineer Coordination

Most co-op alteration agreements require stamped drawings from a licensed architect or engineer before work begins. We coordinate directly with your design professional, share field measurements, and revise scope documents when the board requests changes.

Building Staff Communication

Superintendents, doormen, and resident managers control freight elevator access, working hours, and material delivery windows throughout NYC buildings. Our project managers establish direct communication with building staff before demolition begins, which keeps work moving on schedule.

Pre-Approved Work

Pre-Approved Cooperative Renovation Services Across New York

Shareholders often receive board denials because contractor submissions lack the specifics co-op boards require. Melani General Contractor prepares complete renovation packages that satisfy alteration agreement standards in cooperative buildings citywide.

Residential Cooperative Apartment Work

Cooperative apartments throughout the area carry distinct rules regarding wet-over-dry restrictions, plumbing risers, and structural modifications. Our crews understand these constraints and design renovation plans that align with the building's house rules.

Commercial Cooperative Spaces

Mixed-use co-ops with ground-floor commercial units require contractors familiar with both residential alteration agreements and commercial build-out standards. We handle storefront renovations, professional office build-outs, and medical suite conversions within cooperative structures.

Pre-War Building Renovations

Pre-war cooperatives across the region come with plaster walls, original wood floors, and steam heating systems that demand specialized handling during renovation. Our tradespeople work in these buildings regularly and protect historic elements while modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems.

Post-War Cooperative Upgrades

Post-war co-ops in the metropolitan area typically have concrete slab construction, electric heating, and original 1950s–1970s finishes ready for upgrade. We handle full apartment overhauls in these buildings, including new plumbing, electrical service upgrades, and modern kitchen layouts.
