Due Diligence and Title Review
A comprehensive title examination is essential to identify existing liens, unpaid property taxes, encumbrances, or boundary defects. Our team conducts thorough due diligence, evaluating title reports and municipal records to confirm clean ownership transfers. Addressing title issues early prevents costly post-closing litigation.
3. Real Estate Dispute Resolution
Property conflicts require assertive legal representation to safeguard your ownership rights and financial interest.
Property Boundary, Ownership, and Landlord-Tenant Conflicts
Disputes regarding lot lines, easements, adverse possession claims, or lease violations require prompt legal intervention. Our legal team represents clients in negotiating settlements and enforcing property rights under New York law. Whether resolving encroaching structures or lease non-compliance, we focus on achieving clear, enforceable outcomes.
Breach of Contract Litigation
When a buyer or seller fails to fulfill contractual duties, prompt action is necessary to protect your rights. SJKP's attorneys represent clients in specific performance actions, deposit dispute litigation, and damages claims resulting from contract breaches. We construct evidence-backed cases to enforce contractual terms effectively.
4. Commercial Real Estate Legal Support
Commercial transactions involve intricate financial structures and ongoing operational compliance requirements.
Lease Negotiations, Drafting, and Investment Guidance
Commercial leases bind parties to long-term financial commitments. Our firm drafts, reviews, and negotiates commercial lease agreements for landlords and business tenants. We address key provisions, including build-out allowances, sub-leasing rights, operating expense allocations, and renewal options to align with your business strategy.
Zoning and Land Use Matters
Navigating local land use regulations and zoning boards requires detailed preparation. Drawing on our firm's extensive experience, we assist property owners and developers in seeking variances, conditional use permits, and compliance reviews before New York municipal bodies.
5. Residential Real Estate Representation
Purchasing or selling a home is often one of the most significant financial transactions an individual undertakes.
Home Purchase Agreements and Mortgage Issues
Residential purchase agreements must clearly define contingencies, inspection rights, and closing deadlines. Our attorneys review offer terms, negotiate rider clauses, and evaluate mortgage commitment conditions to protect your deposit and ensure smooth financing approval.
Closing Process Management
The closing represents the final step in transferring title and settling funds. Our team prepares closing statements, reviews lender documents, verifies tax adjustments, and oversees the execution and recording of deeds and mortgages in accordance with county recording standards.
6. Real Estate Compliance and Regulatory Matters
Staying compliant with local building codes and statutory disclosure rules protects property values and prevents administrative penalties.
Property Code Compliance and Disclosure Requirements
Property owners must comply with local building safety rules, environmental standards, and statutory property condition disclosure requirements. We advise clients on compliance obligations and help resolve building department violations or reporting oversights.
Environmental Regulations and Regulatory Navigation
Environmental liabilities can significantly affect real estate value and development plans. SJKP's attorneys guide clients through regulatory reviews, environmental assessments, and compliance filings mandated under state and federal environmental guidelines.
