Arete Management LLC
Managing agent — unlicensed in New York State
4 buildings. 394 Class C violations. No state license.
PORTFOLIO GEOGRAPHY
4 buildings.
THE PATTERN
Severely elevated rate.
Arete Management LLC averages 98.5 Class C violations per building — 1870% above the catalog-wide 5.0 baseline. Across 4 buildings, the portfolio carries 394 Class C violations: conditions HPD classifies as immediately hazardous to life and health. This is not a marginal divergence from peers. It is a structural one.
THE REGULATORY VOID
No license. No exam. No oversight.
Arete Management LLC appears on HPD Registration filings tied to 4 buildings containing an estimated 514 residential units — and needs no state license to operate. In Florida, a Community Association Manager must pass a state exam, carry a bond, and complete continuing education. In New York, there is no equivalent requirement. There is no public complaint registry, no disciplinary board, and no performance standards.
