The Law Office of Charles Wolfe McMellon, Esq. PLLC

Thank you for visiting my site.  Please take notice my private practice is currently closed.

As an attorney, I focus on property related legal actions and proceedings, statutory compliance and property management challenges. My approach is to find the best outcome under the circumstances for individuals, families and businesses.

With fourteen years of litigation experience in the New York City Civil Court, Housing Part, and various NY Supreme Court work, I understand the legal issues surrounding property rights and return of possession. I have commenced and litigated dozens of for-cause holdover and nuisance proceedings, and hundreds of non-payment cases. Along with HP Action and building violation defense, I find practical solutions to resolve ownership and operational challenges.

In like kind, I can provide defense of tenancy rights to maintain habitability standards, enforce lease provisions and the law. Tenants who deal in good faith deserve fair treatment and the opportunity to exercise their rights.

As a former counsel for a large non-profit that serves individuals with mental health challenges, respect for capacity and disability issues guides my representation and professional work. I am currently a Part 36 attorney for the Guardianship and Fiduciary Services for the NYS Unified Court System.

In addition, my experience as the Borough Enforcement Attorney for Brooklyn and Staten Island for The NYC Department of Buildings provides the skill and knowledge to navigate complex regulatory and statutory property issues. Whether the best course is to mediate a dispute or to enforce lease provisions in court, I work with clients to provide good counsel along with vigorous representation.

Lastly, I am an experienced property manager in New York City and currently manage a portfolio of four buildings with fifteen apartments and one commercial space in Park Slope, Brooklyn. To maximize economic success with rental units or commercial a space, a focus on developing good landlord-tenant relationships, well drafted leases, knowledge of local laws, good and sufficient tenant notices, and anticipation of future challenges are key factors for success.

Thank you again for visiting my website.

Sincerely,

Charles Wolfe McMellon, Esq.
