Three Manhattan Buildings. Residents Never Moved Out.

The Job

NYCHA selected ABM Community Partners to rehabilitate three Manhattan buildings under PACT — 558 apartments in total, with residents staying in place throughout. Façade work, elevators, security systems and common-area upgrades belong to the wider program.

PPR renovates the apartments.

PPR's Scope

Every apartment PPR turns here gets the same treatment:

• New kitchens
• New bathrooms
• New flooring throughout
• New interior doors and hardware
• New lighting fixtures and circuit breaker panels
• Fresh paint, wall to wall
• New apartment entry hardware

Same spec in every unit. That consistency is the point — on a job this size, the difference between a portfolio that reads as finished and one that reads as patched together is whether unit 12B matches unit 4A.

Why It's Harder Than It Sounds

These aren't vacant units waiting on a contractor's schedule. Residents are home. Every turn has to be sequenced around the people living there — access coordinated, work staged, the apartment handed back livable at the end of the day, not at the end of the month.

That's the constraint that breaks most schedules. Working inside it, unit after unit, is the reason this project is on our site.

PPR has run the same tenant-in-place discipline at PACT Renaissance Collaborative in Upper Manhattan and in the Yonkers Preservation RAD conversion. More Manhattan unit turnaround work.
