Electrical for your whole portfolio — handled as a program, not one-off calls
Property managers don't have an electrical problem — they have the same electrical problems, recurring forever, across every building on the roster: tenant complaints, common-area failures, agency violations, unit turnovers, and a compliance calendar that never stops. MP Electric NYC is built to absorb exactly that.
We're one master-licensed, fully insured contractor for both the building and the units — risers, house panels, and common areas and in-unit work — so you're not coordinating separate trades. Your supers and managers get a direct dispatch line; we execute and return dated documentation formatted for your boards, owners, insurers, and city agencies; and you get one clean, consolidated invoice instead of a pile of one-off tickets.
Portfolio managers: three or more buildings unlocks portfolio rates, a single point of contact, standing Certificates of Insurance on file per building (additional insured), and consolidated monthly invoicing. The goal is simple — electrical stops being something you manage.
What we handle for managers & owners
24/7 emergency response
Tenant outages, sparking outlets, dead common-area power, water-into-electrical — a direct dispatch line for your supers and managers, prioritized dispatch for managed accounts, every call closed with a written diagnosis.
Preventive maintenance programs
Scheduled inspections of panels, connections, common-area and emergency lighting, generators, and life-safety systems on a monthly, quarterly, or annual cadence — catching failures before they become 2 a.m. calls.
Common-area & house systems
Lobbies, hallways, stairwells, laundry rooms, garages, and mechanical spaces — house panels, corridor and egress lighting, GFCI, and the shared infrastructure tenants never see until it fails.
Panel, riser & service upgrades
Vertical feeders and services sized decades ago, now carrying AC and EV load in every unit. Load studies and phased upgrades scheduled around occupancy, with Con Edison lead-times built in.
DOB · HPD · FDNY violation cures
Electrical violations cured with the photographic and written documentation each agency certification requires — coordinated through the required re-inspection and sign-off procedures.
Local Law 97 electrification
Metered load studies, service and switchgear upgrade programs, and per-unit electrification packages that make heat-pump and induction retrofits actually powerable.
Local Law 88 lighting & sub-metering
Compliant common-area lighting upgrades and tenant sub-metering for buildings over 25,000 sq ft — the work the January 2025 deadline required.
EV charger installation
Level 2 charging for garages and parking areas, with the load management and board/owner documentation co-ops and condos need.
Common-area LED retrofits
Corridor, stairwell, and exterior lighting converted to LED — lower common-charge energy costs and fewer bulb-change service calls, often with utility incentives.
Standby generators & life-safety
Emergency and standby power, fire-alarm-adjacent electrical, and egress/emergency lighting — installed, exercised, and documented for inspection.
Unit turnover packages
A standardized, fixed per-unit scope between tenants — outlets, GFCI, detectors (smoke, CO, LL157 gas), fixtures, panel labeling — with dated photos, scheduled inside your turnover window.
Intercom, access & low-voltage
Entry intercom, access control, and building low-voltage wiring — the shared systems that keep buildings secure and connected.
NYC compliance is our department
Managed buildings live under a stack of overlapping electrical mandates, and the penalties recur while a violation stays open. We handle the electrical side end to end: Local Law 97 load studies and electrification infrastructure for buildings over 25,000 sq ft; Local Law 88 common-area lighting upgrades and tenant sub-metering; Local Law 157 natural-gas alarm installation; and DOB, HPD, ECB, and FDNY electrical violation cures with the documentation each certification requires.
Every job comes with the paper trail your building actually needs — dated photos, written scope, permit filings, and Con Edison coordination — so a board can approve it, an insurer can accept it, and an agency can close it. Full background is in our Local Law 97 electrical guide and Local Law 88 late-fee breakdown; pre-war buildings should also see our pre-war modernization service.
The Local Law 88 deadline has passed
Buildings over 25,000 sq ft needed compliant lighting and tenant sub-metering certified by January 1, 2025. Penalties recur while the violation stays open — fixing it once is what stops the exposure.
How we work with property managers
For a single building: start with whatever's urgent — a violation, a tenant emergency, a common-area failure — performed at standard rates with the documentation habits above. Most management relationships start with one job done right and documented properly.
For a portfolio: a walkthrough of representative buildings produces a baseline condition report, a standardized turnover scope priced per unit type, and a response-time SLA for tenant calls. From there electrical runs on rails: your super or manager dispatches through one line, we execute and document, and you receive one consolidated monthly invoice with COIs already on file.
Serving property managers, owners, and co-op/condo boards throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island — from 3-family walk-ups to 100+ unit elevator buildings. Commercial spaces within mixed-use buildings are covered under our commercial electrical service, and building-scale work under multi-family building electrical.
Building power & service troubleshooting
Intermittent power across multiple apartments or common areas is a building-level problem — it needs a service-level diagnosis, not apartment-by-apartment troubleshooting.
Partial building power loss
Some units or circuits dead while others work — often a service-side fault.
Lost phase / voltage imbalance
Classic cause of lights dimming, surging, and 240V equipment failing.
Neutral problems
Loose or failing neutrals cause erratic voltage and equipment damage.
Main switch & service equipment
Diagnosis at the main disconnect, service switch and house panels.
Meter banks & risers
Meter-bank faults and riser/feeder problems affecting multiple units.
Con Edison-side vs building-side
We determine which side of the service the fault is on — and coordinate with Con Ed when it’s theirs.

Security cameras, intercom & building access
MP Electric NYC provides the electrical and low-voltage infrastructure for security cameras, video doorbells, intercoms and access-control systems in apartment and mixed-use buildings.
Building entrances
Camera and intercom coverage at front and service entrances.
Vestibules & lobbies
Common-area coverage where residents and visitors enter.
Package areas
Delivery coverage to deter and document package theft.
Hallways & basements
Interior common-area and restricted-access monitoring.
Garages & rear yards
Exterior and parking coverage on permanent power.
Access control
Door releases, intercom wiring and entry systems.
As a Ring Authorized Partner we install Ring systems for buildings, and we also install traditional PoE / NVR security camera systems.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We're master licensed and fully insured, and we issue COIs naming your management company and building ownership as additional insured, kept on file for each property. COI and license documentation is standard for every co-op, condo, and managed building we work with.

Priority 24/7/365 dispatch across all five boroughs. Managed accounts get a direct dispatch line for supers and managers, and every emergency closes with a written diagnosis.
Yes. We cure DOB, HPD, ECB, and FDNY electrical violations with the photographic and written documentation each agency's certification requires, and coordinate the required re-inspection and sign-off procedures.
Yes. Three or more buildings unlocks portfolio rates, a single point of contact, standing COIs per building, standardized scopes for recurring work like unit turnovers, and consolidated monthly invoicing.

What managers & owners say
"We manage 11 buildings in Brooklyn and the Bronx. MP Electric standardized our turnover electrical at one price per unit type — our make-ready timelines dropped because we stopped waiting on quotes. The HPD documentation alone is worth it."
"Cured six open electrical violations across two buildings, every cure carried through to certification. Then they LED-converted our hallways and the common-area ConEd bill dropped 70%. Competent and organized."
"Our 1931 elevator building needed a load study for LL97 planning. Theirs was metered, thorough, and exactly what our engineer asked for — and their riser phasing plan worked around our occupied units without a single tenant complaint."
