Episode 70: Inside a Huge NYC Multifamily Portfolio with Avi Schron

Shaun Riney and Seth Glasser sit down with Avi Schron, Executive Vice President of Cammeby’s International, for an operator’s perspective on how New York City’s rent-stabilized housing system has changed—from the introduction of IAIs and MCIs in the 1990s to HSTPA, rising operating costs, and the current rent freeze.
Avi explains why operating expenses have climbed from roughly 45–55% of revenue to as high as 75% in many buildings, how fixed revenue and escalating costs are forcing owners to scrutinize every expense, and why the long-term consequences may ultimately be felt most directly by tenants through postponed capital work, receiverships, and deteriorating building services.
Avi also discusses the history of the Schron family business, Cammeby’s investments in New Jersey, office-to-residential conversion opportunities in Lower Manhattan, and a recently completed 499-unit development in Coney Island. The episode closes with a broader conversation about faith, stress, leadership, and how Avi remains optimistic while navigating an increasingly uncertain real estate market.
