Guardian Service Industries, Inc.

By  Eddie Small  |  June 28, 2017 02:01PM New York City lost more than 11 million square feet of industrial space to rezonings between 2007 and 2016, according to a new report. Although several large rezonings of manufacturing space in the city went into effect during the early 2000s, millions of industrial square feet have also been rezoned over the past decade, an analysis by Ariel Property Advisors found. Some properties been transformed into residential lofts and offices, but a surprising amount remains vacant — about 2.3 million square feet. The majority of these rezonings in the last decade took place in Manhattan, which lost 4.54 million square feet of industrial space across 230 lots, and Brooklyn, which lost 4.12 million square feet across 454 lots, the data show. Queens lost 1.28 million square feet of industrial space across 368 lots, while the Bronx lost 1.05 million square feet across 124 lots, and Staten Island lost just 63,519 square feet across 15...

The city has launched an initiative to attract developers who want to build new office projects in East New York, Brooklyn, which was rezoned last year as part of  Mayor  Bill de Blasio ’s plan to build and preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over the next decade. The  New York City Economic Development Corporation  released a  request for proposals  today seeking firms that want to build new office space or substantially renovate an existing commercial building in the working class neighborhood. The city’s  Human Resources Administration  is looking for 250,000 square feet in the area, but it will commit to leasing anywhere from 50,000 to 300,000 square feet in a building, functioning as an anchor tenant. Ideally, the agency would fill no more than 50 percent of the project, according to the RFP. It’s looking for a 20-year lease, with renewal options of five years each. The proposal is meant to support the mayor’s newly released...

New York City is already one of the United States' most sustainable cities, according to Arcadis' sustainable city index. Thanks to the ingenuity of several prominent landlords, it is also on the path to becoming the best connected. As smart building technology, high-speed internet and luxury amenities become the norm, commercial properties have had to adapt to changing consumer needs.  Bisnow and WiredScore, the creator of the Wired Certification commercial real estate rating system that empowers landlords to understand, improve and promote their buildings' digital infrastructure, have compiled a list of seven NYC landlords bringing innovation and a tenant-centric focus to their properties. Rudin Management has achieved Wired Certification for 16 buildings across New York City including: 3 Times Square, 32 Avenue of the Americas, 55 Broad and 641 Lexington. The company has also built a reputation as a leader in smart building technology. Rudin founded Prescriptive ...

As President Trump retreats from his predecessor’s efforts to tackle  climate change , it is more important than ever that our cities and states develop tools to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for the planet’s warming. In  New York City , this means first and foremost cutting energy use in buildings, which accounts for over two-thirds of the city’s emissions. A simple tweak to an existing law could help the city reach its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050 and create a template for the rest of the country to follow. Local Law 84, enacted in 2009, obligates the city’s largest buildings to report how much energy they consume each year. Participating buildings then receive scores indicating how efficient (or inefficient) they are compared to similar buildings. But almost no one sees the data. The ratings are posted on a government website that few people know about and are charted on a 100-point scale that is difficult to i...

At Guardian, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all colleagues, suppliers, clients and visitors. This is achieved by ensuring that all employees are provided with the information, training and supervision they need to perform their job in a safe manner.  An example, Matthew Bressler our in-house OSHA trainer leads a seminar entitled "The Business Case For Safety," for one of our New Jersey clients yesterday afternoon.

The Fix By  MICHELLE HIGGINS   JUNE 2, 2017 Continue reading the main story Share This Page Share Tweet Pin Email More Save Summer is nearly here, and your home will soon be heating up. But just the thought of looking for a new air-conditioner is enough to make you break out in a sweat. How do you know which one to buy, and how it will affect your energy bill? What if your apartment building doesn’t allow window units? Not to worry: We’ve done the research for you. The key to comfort and savings is finding the unit that fits your space. An air-conditioner that isn’t powerful enough won’t effectively cool your home and could end up inflating your power bill. One that is too powerful will work too quickly, shutting off before most of the humidity has been removed, leaving your place cool but clammy. And all that cycling on and off can stress the equipment and shorten its life span. Energy efficiency is another factor: The energy efficiency ratio (EER) i...

April 25, 2017 By  Jen Kincaid As temperatures begin to rise and you’re excited for the warmer seasons ahead, it’s still a good idea to remain vigilant with your apartment security. Spring and summer might be a tempting time to leave the windows in your apartment cracked open while you’re away at work or to document your every spring break activity via photos posted on social media. But, neither of these actions are good ideas because you’re opening yourself up to potential theft. Here are seven security tips to consider to help protect your apartment and valuables this spring and summer. 1. Use Outdoor Lighting and Timers Does your apartment come with an outdoor light? If so, you may want to consider turning it on each night. This lighting may help deter potential burglars from your place, says  Apartment Therapy . Some apartment buildings also try to keep walkways, parking areas and courtyards well lit. If you notice a light is out, or there’s an area tha...
