When the Bronx Court Gave You a Warrant, We Execute It

Eviction Marshal Serving Hunts Point, Bronx
Winning in court and actually collecting are two completely different things. The court issues the judgment. It doesn’t go get your money. It doesn’t remove a tenant who won’t leave. That’s where we come in — and why having the right marshal matters.
For landlords in Hunts Point, where 92% of residents rent and Bronx Housing Court has been running one of the longest backlogs in the city, the gap between a Warrant of Eviction and an actual eviction can feel endless. Once you have that warrant in hand, you need a marshal who moves. Not one who adds more waiting to a process you’ve already been patient through.
For creditors — whether you’re a produce vendor at the Hunts Point Market, a trucking company owed on a commercial contract, or a small business owner holding a civil judgment — the problem is the same. You have a piece of paper that says you’re right. We are the mechanism that turns it into a result.
Income execution goes directly to the debtor’s employer and requires payroll withholding until the judgment is satisfied. Property execution reaches cash, inventory, and equipment when wages aren’t the answer. These aren’t collection agency tactics. These are court-authorized enforcement actions, and only a city marshal can carry them out.
NYC Marshal Serving the South Bronx and Hunts Point
We’ve been serving New York City since 1988. That’s not a marketing number — that’s a family that has been doing this work through every era of this city’s history, including the decades when the South Bronx was at its hardest. Edward Guida Jr. carries on the work his father built, and that continuity means something.
The founding marshal was so respected in his community that the corner of 104th Street and 48th Avenue in Corona, Queens was officially renamed “Edward Guida Way” in his honor. That kind of recognition doesn’t come from doing the minimum.
Our office is mayor-appointed, regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation, and carries a $100,000 public official’s bond. This isn’t a private collection agency. It’s a government-appointed enforcement office with full jurisdiction across all five boroughs — including every block in Hunts Point and the surrounding South Bronx. When you call us, you’re talking to people who have a personal stake in getting it right.
Income Execution and Eviction Process in Hunts Point, NY
The first step is straightforward: you contact our office with your judgment documents. Whether you came out of NYC Civil Court, the NYC Small Claims Court, or the Supreme Court, the process starts the same way — you bring the judgment, and we determine which enforcement tool fits your situation.
In Hunts Point, income execution is often the most direct path. The neighborhood has the highest rate of unbanked households of any community district in New York City — 31% of households have no bank account at all. That means bank levies frequently hit dead ends here. But income execution is different. It goes to the debtor’s employer, not their bank.
Under New York law, the employer is legally required to withhold up to 10% of gross wages per paycheck and remit it until the judgment is fully satisfied. For creditors dealing with debtors who work in the food distribution complex, in trucking, or in the industrial businesses along the Hunts Point peninsula, this is often the most effective tool available.
When a debtor doesn’t have a traditional employer, property execution is the alternative — seizing cash, inventory, equipment, or other personal property to satisfy the debt. For commercial creditors in the Hunts Point Industrial Business Zone, this is frequently the right approach.
For landlords, once a Warrant of Eviction is issued by the NYC court system, we schedule and carry out the physical eviction — professionally, with all parties treated with dignity, and in full compliance with current DOI requirements, including the 2024 state law requiring online posting of eviction notices within 24 hours.

NYC Eviction and Debt Collection Services in Hunts Point, Bronx
We provide the full range of civil enforcement: judgment collection, income execution, property execution, landlord and tenant evictions, small claims enforcement, and parking violation operations. All of it, from one office, with authority across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
For Hunts Point specifically, a few things are worth knowing. The commercial side of this neighborhood — the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center, the IBZ businesses, the trucking and manufacturing operations — creates a B2B enforcement market that most people don’t think about when they think “city marshal.” If you’re a wholesale vendor, a supplier, or a business owner who won a civil judgment against another business and can’t collect, property execution is built for exactly that situation. We can seize business assets to satisfy the debt. That’s a tool no collection agency has.
On the residential side, Hunts Point has significant rent-stabilized housing stock, an active tenant legal landscape, and a housing court that has been under documented strain post-pandemic. That means landlords need an eviction marshal who handles the process cleanly — no shortcuts, no missteps, nothing that gives a tenant’s attorney a foothold. We’re equipped with the technology to handle documentation properly from the start, which matters in a borough where tenant representation has been growing.
And if you won in small claims court and assumed that was the end of it — it’s not. A small claims judgment carries the same enforcement rights as any civil judgment. We can pursue income execution or property execution on your behalf, across all five boroughs, regardless of where the debtor has moved.
How do I hire a city marshal in Hunts Point after winning in court?
Once you have a judgment from NYC Civil Court, the Small Claims Court, or the Supreme Court, you can contact us directly — you don’t need to go back to court to initiate enforcement. You’ll bring your judgment paperwork to our office, and we’ll review which enforcement mechanism fits your situation: income execution if the debtor has an employer, property execution if there are seizable assets, or eviction enforcement if you’re a landlord holding a Warrant of Eviction.
For Hunts Point creditors, it’s worth knowing that we’re not limited to the borough where we’re physically located. We operate out of Corona, Queens — directly accessible via the Bruckner Expressway corridor — but hold full jurisdiction across all five boroughs. So whether your debtor works in the Hunts Point Market, lives in another part of the Bronx, or has moved to Brooklyn, we handle it. You don’t need to find a different marshal based on where the debtor is located.
What is income execution and how does it work for Bronx creditors?
Income execution is a legal mechanism that requires a debtor’s employer to withhold a portion of their wages and send it directly toward satisfying a court judgment. Under New York law, that amount is capped at 10% of the debtor’s gross wages per paycheck. The employer is legally obligated to comply — this isn’t a request, it’s a court-backed enforcement action. The withholding continues until the full judgment amount is paid.
For creditors dealing with debtors in Hunts Point and the surrounding South Bronx, income execution is particularly relevant because bank levies often don’t work here. Hunts Point has the highest rate of unbanked households of any NYC community district — 31% of households have no bank account. But income execution bypasses the bank entirely. If the debtor has a paycheck — whether they work in the food distribution complex, in a trucking company, or in one of the IBZ manufacturing businesses — income execution can reach it. We serve the employer directly, and the process runs without requiring any cooperation from the debtor.
What's the difference between a city marshal and a debt collection agency in New York?
The difference is legal authority. A collection agency can send letters, make calls, and report to credit bureaus. That’s the extent of it. A NYC city marshal is a mayor-appointed public officer with the legal power to seize property, garnish wages, and physically execute court orders. These are not the same thing, and the distinction matters enormously once you’re holding a judgment that someone is refusing to pay.
We are regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation, overseen by the Appellate Division, and required to carry a $100,000 public official’s bond. We operate under New York State statute, and our fees are set by law — not negotiated. Every marshal charges the same statutory rates, which means choosing a more experienced, better-established office doesn’t cost you more. It just means the enforcement is handled by someone who knows what they’re doing. For a Hunts Point creditor who has already tried the informal route and gotten nowhere, engaging a city marshal is a fundamentally different step — it’s the court-authorized mechanism, not another collection attempt.
Can a marshal enforce a judgment if the Hunts Point debtor has no bank account?
Yes — and this is one of the most common misconceptions creditors run into. Many people assume that if a debtor doesn’t have a bank account, there’s nothing to go after. That’s not accurate. We have two primary enforcement tools beyond bank levies: income execution and property execution.
Income execution goes directly to the debtor’s employer. If the debtor earns a paycheck — regardless of whether they bank that money or cash it — the employer can be legally required to withhold up to 10% of gross wages per paycheck. Property execution is the other option: we can seize cash, inventory, equipment, vehicles, or other personal property to satisfy the judgment.
Hunts Point’s extremely high unbanked rate (31% of households have no bank account, with another 30% underbanked) means that bank levies are often the wrong tool to reach for first in this community. We assess the debtor’s actual financial situation and identify which enforcement path is most likely to produce a real recovery.
How long does the eviction process take in Hunts Point after a warrant is issued?
Once a Warrant of Eviction has been issued by the NYC court system, we can begin scheduling the physical eviction. The timeline from that point depends on our scheduling capacity and any legal stays or appeals the tenant may pursue — but the court process itself is already behind you at that stage. The warrant is the authorization. We are the execution.
What’s worth understanding for Hunts Point landlords specifically is that getting to the warrant has historically been the slow part. Bronx Housing Court has carried one of the city’s most documented post-pandemic backlogs, with eviction filings and legal escalation rising sharply as courts work through years of deferred cases. By the time most Hunts Point landlords are calling us, they’ve already waited months. We move efficiently once the warrant is in hand — scheduling promptly, handling documentation correctly under current DOI requirements, and conducting the eviction professionally so that nothing on the execution side creates new legal exposure for you.
Can I still collect on an old judgment against a tenant or debtor in the Bronx?
In most cases, yes. A New York court judgment remains valid and enforceable for 20 years from the date it was entered. If you won a judgment against a former tenant or a business debtor years ago and gave up on collecting, the legal mechanism to enforce it hasn’t expired. As long as the judgment is still within that window, we can pursue income execution or property execution on your behalf.
This comes up more often than you’d expect in neighborhoods like Hunts Point, where economic conditions shift and debtors who had nothing collectible at the time of judgment may now be employed in the food distribution complex, working in an IBZ business, or otherwise in a position where enforcement is viable. We can assess the current situation and advise on whether re-engaging enforcement makes sense. There’s no obligation to act — but there’s also no reason to assume an old judgment is worthless without checking. If the 20-year window is still open, the option is still on the table.
