New York is one of the most complex investor markets in the country. A layered rent-regulation framework, the longest foreclosure timelines in the nation, and some of the highest property taxes anywhere directly shape how DSCR loans here are underwritten and structured.
Brick City Capital provides DSCR loans in New York for brokers and investor clients where the structure of the deal is the real obstacle even when borrower credit is strong. As a DSCR lender built for complex files, we underwrite to how the asset actually performs under New York's rules.

Across New York City and its boroughs, Westchester, Long Island, and the upstate markets of Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany, investor demand is strong. But New York's rent-regulation framework, court-driven foreclosure process, and tax load introduce structural realities that materially affect underwriting:
Rent-stabilized units operate on regulated rents, so income underwrites on documented in-place figures.
A judicial foreclosure process among the longest in the nation, which stretches recovery timelines.
Among the highest property taxes in the nation, concentrated across Westchester and Long Island.
Appraisal variability across boroughs, mixed-use buildings, and submarkets with thin comparable sales.
High investor concentration in individual buildings and rental corridors beyond conventional limits.
New construction and repositioned assets carrying no stabilized rental operating history yet.
In this environment, qualification is rarely about income alone. It’s about how the deal is structured around tax exposure, concentration limits, and timeline risk.
Each structural reality above has a specific underwriting answer on a New York file.

When a hard file closes the way you told your client it would, your credibility comes out intact.
