STOP REACTING TO CRISIS.
START PLANNING AHEAD.
Expert guidance for NYC co-op and condo boards
who want to make confident decisions,
without the commitment of a full engagement.
Does This Sound Like Your Board?
Many NYC co-op and condo boards struggle with the same underlying issues, regardless of building size or management company.
Disorganized building documents and missing records
Little visibility into violations, contracts, or compliance deadlines
Reactive decision-making instead of proactive planning
Ongoing questions about staff or property manager performance
Vendor proposals that all look good on paper—but which one is actually right?
Major decisions that need to be made, but no clarity on the best path forward
You’re not alone. And you don’t need to fire your super or change property managers to regain control.
Get Clear, Actionable Answers - Fast
Our Strategic Advisory Sessions are designed for boards facing decisions that can't wait, and for boards ready to improve their processes so they can spend less time on board responsibilities. Whether you're evaluating a major capital project, reviewing vendor proposals, planning your budget, or navigating an unexpected crisis, we help you cut through the confusion and create a plan you can act on immediately.
Here's how the Strategic Advisory Partnership Works
30-Minute Discovery Call: We discuss your situation to understand what decision you're facing.
Deep-Dive Analysis: We analyze your options and create a clear action plan tailored to your building.
Written Recommendations: You receive a detailed report with prioritized next steps, vendor evaluation criteria, budget implications, or whatever guidance you need to move forward confidently.
No long-term contracts. No committees. Just clear answers when you need them.

Why Boards Choose NYC Board Advisors
"We were stuck with five bids for our facade work, with the highest being 250% above the lowest, and little guidance from our property manager or engineer on how to evaluate them. After speaking with Mark Foley and Tina Larsson, we had the confidence to present our recommendation to shareholders."
— Board President, Upper West Side Co-op
"Having an expert review our capital repair plan before our informational meeting with owners was invaluable. The board felt prepared and could answer every question the owners asked."
— Treasurer, Midtown Condo
"Our property manager kept saying 'this is standard,' but something felt off. One call confirmed our instincts and gave us the language to push back effectively."
— Board Secretary, Brooklyn Co-op
Ready to Bring Order to the Chaos?
Common Questions We Help Boards Solve
How is this different from property management?
Your property manager handles the day-to-day operations, bookkeeping and record keeping, and responding to resident requests.
We provide strategic support, organizing your information, building tracking systems, helping your board make informed decisions, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. We work alongside your property manager to give your board the clarity and control you need to lead effectively.
Think of it this way: your property manager runs the building; we help you run the board.
Do we need to fire our property manager to work with you?
Absolutely not. We work alongside your current property manager—we don't replace them.
Our role is to give your board the tools, systems, and strategic guidance you need to be more effective leaders—which actually makes your property manager's job easier. Clear expectations, organized information, and proactive planning benefit everyone.
What exactly is a Strategic Advisory Partnership?
It's an ongoing relationship where we become your board's strategic partner and outside expert.
We organize your building documents, build custom tracking dashboards, provide ongoing guidance, and help you navigate everything from daily operations to major capital projects.
Basically: when your board feels overwhelmed, we bring order to the chaos and make things manageable again.
What happens during the first month?
Week 1: We meet with your board to understand your biggest challenges and priorities.
Week 2: We provide you with an actionable plan so that you can start implementing processes to solve the challenges and priorities that we discussed during our strategy session.
Weeks 2-4: We’re available to answer any questions you have.
Do you work with self-managed buildings?
Yes, we do. Our Strategic Advisory Partnership is ideal for self-managed co-op and condo boards that don’t have a property manager’s expertise to lean on, but still want expert guidance on compliance, projects, vendors, and budgeting. You stay in control, while The Folson Group acts as your trusted advisor and safety net.
