Eviction Marshal Serving Bronx 10462
Winning in court feels like the finish line. It isn’t. The judge signs the order, the clerk stamps the papers, and then — nothing happens automatically. The court doesn’t send anyone to collect your money or remove a tenant who refuses to leave. That part is on you.
And if you’ve never been through this before, figuring out that next step can feel like hitting a wall. That’s exactly where we come in. Once you engage our office, the legal mechanism shifts from passive to active.
An income execution gets served on the debtor’s employer, requiring them by law to withhold wages until your judgment is satisfied. A property execution allows seizure of cash, equipment, or other assets. A warrant of eviction gets scheduled and carried out — professionally, by the book, with the 43rd Precinct informed and the process documented properly.
Parkchester’s housing stock is almost entirely apartment-based, and a significant portion of the units in Parkchester North Condominium are privately owned and rented out by individual landlords who don’t have a legal department behind them. If you’re one of those landlords — or a small business owner along Westchester Avenue who won a judgment and still hasn’t seen a dollar — the gap between “judgment granted” and “judgment collected” is exactly what we exist to close.
NYC Marshal Edward Guida #14
We’ve been serving New York City since 1988. That’s not a marketing line — it’s a fact that predates the internet, predates the condo conversion of much of Parkchester South, and predates most of the regulatory changes that have reshaped NYC housing court over the past three decades.
Our office is second-generation: Edward F. Guida Jr. carries on the work of his father, Edward Sr., whose dedication to the city was recognized when the corner of 104th Street and 48th Avenue in nearby Corona, Queens was officially renamed “Edward Guida Way” in his honor.
We operate as a mayor-appointed office. Every NYC Marshal is appointed by the Mayor of New York City, regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation, and required to carry a $100,000 public official’s bond. That’s a different level of accountability than a collection agency operating under a business license. We serve all five boroughs — so whether your debtor works in Midtown or their property is in the East Bronx, one call covers it.
Income Execution Process in the Bronx
The process starts when you contact us with your judgment in hand. You’ll need the civil court judgment or small claims court judgment, along with whatever information you have about the debtor — their employer, their address, any known assets. We review the case and determine the right enforcement tool: income execution, property execution, or eviction enforcement if a warrant has already been issued.
For income execution, we serve the debtor first with a notice — under New York law, the debtor has 20 days to begin voluntary payment before we proceed to serve the employer directly. Once the employer is served, they are legally required to withhold up to 10% of the debtor’s gross wages each pay period until the judgment is fully satisfied. The debtor doesn’t have to agree. The employer doesn’t have a choice.
This matters in Parkchester specifically because the neighborhood’s residents are heavy commuters — over 32% spend 45 minutes to an hour getting to work each way, meaning most employers are elsewhere in the city. Our five-borough authority means the income execution follows the debtor to their employer regardless of which borough they work in.
For evictions, we coordinate the scheduling of the warrant execution, handle the required documentation and notice procedures — including the 2024 state law requirement to post eviction notices online within 24 hours of paper service — and carry out the eviction in a manner that protects the landlord from procedural exposure. We use modern documentation technology to keep the process clean and defensible from start to finish.

Judgment Collection and Eviction Services Parkchester
We handle the full range of civil enforcement authorized under New York law. Judgment collection through income execution and property execution, landlord-tenant evictions once a warrant has been issued, small claims court enforcement, and parking violation operations — all from a single office with authority across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
For Parkchester landlords specifically, the eviction service is often the most immediate need. The Good Cause Eviction Law that took effect on April 20, 2024 added procedural requirements to the eviction process in NYC — and getting those steps wrong can delay or derail an otherwise valid warrant. We’re equipped to handle the documentation and scheduling requirements correctly, which protects landlords from the kind of procedural errors that send cases back to Bronx Housing Court for additional appearances.
For small business owners and individual creditors, the small claims enforcement option is one of the most underused tools available. If you won a judgment in small claims court — even a few thousand dollars — and the other party simply hasn’t paid, we can enforce that judgment through wage garnishment or property seizure. Most people who win in small claims court don’t know this option exists. The judgment you’re holding is enforceable. Our fees are set by New York State statute, so every marshal charges the same statutory rates — there’s no premium to pay for a more established office. What you’re choosing between is experience, coverage, and how professionally the job gets done.
How do I hire a marshal to execute an eviction in Parkchester?
Once Bronx Housing Court has issued a Warrant of Eviction, you can contact us directly to begin the enforcement process. You’ll need to provide the warrant and any supporting documentation from your housing court case. We’ll schedule the eviction, handle the required notice procedures — including the 2024 requirement to post eviction notices online within 24 hours of paper service — and coordinate with the 43rd Precinct, which covers Parkchester.
One thing worth knowing: the warrant itself doesn’t expire the moment it’s issued, but there are timing rules around when the first legal date of eviction falls and how quickly enforcement can proceed. If your case has been sitting in the Bronx Housing Court backlog, the warrant may already have a first legal date attached. Calling us with your paperwork in hand is the fastest way to understand exactly where you stand and what the next step looks like for your specific situation.
What is the difference between a NYC Marshal and a collection agency?
A collection agency is a private business that contacts debtors and asks them to pay. They can send letters, make calls, and report debts to credit bureaus — but they cannot legally compel anyone to do anything. A NYC Marshal is a mayor-appointed public officer with legal authority to enforce court orders. That means we can serve an income execution that legally requires an employer to withhold wages, or execute a property seizure authorized by a court judgment. The debtor’s cooperation is not required.
This distinction matters a lot for creditors who have already tried the informal route. If you’ve sent demand letters, worked with a collection agency, and still haven’t collected on a judgment, it’s because those tools rely on the debtor choosing to pay. Income execution and property execution through our office don’t rely on that choice. We hold an official appointment, carry a $100,000 public official’s bond, and are regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation — none of which applies to a private collection agency.
Can a marshal collect a judgment if the debtor doesn't have a traditional job?
Yes. Wage garnishment through income execution is only one enforcement tool. If the debtor doesn’t have a traditional W-2 employer — which is a real consideration in Parkchester’s commercial environment, where a portion of the population is self-employed or works in the gig economy — property execution is the alternative. This allows us to seize cash, inventory, equipment, vehicles, or other personal property belonging to the debtor in order to satisfy the judgment.
Property execution is particularly relevant for creditors dealing with small business owners or independent contractors along the Westchester Avenue commercial corridor or elsewhere in the East Bronx. If the debtor has assets — not just a paycheck — the enforcement path still exists. The right approach depends on what’s known about the debtor’s financial situation, and we can help you think through which enforcement method makes the most sense before you commit to a course of action.
Can a marshal in Parkchester enforce a small claims court judgment?
Absolutely. A judgment issued by small claims court carries the same enforcement rights as any civil court judgment. We’re specifically authorized to enforce small claims judgments through income execution or property execution across all five boroughs, including the Bronx. This is one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of the small claims process — the court issues the judgment, but it does not collect the money for you.
If you won a case in Bronx Civil Court’s small claims part and the defendant simply hasn’t paid, you’re not out of options. You can engage our office with your judgment in hand, and the enforcement process proceeds the same way it would for a larger civil judgment. The amount doesn’t have to be enormous for enforcement to be worth pursuing — the statutory fee structure is set by New York State law, and the 5% poundage we retain comes from the money collected, not as an upfront cost in most cases.
Does a NYC Marshal's authority cover all five boroughs, or just the Bronx?
Our authority covers all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We’re based in Corona, Queens, but our enforcement jurisdiction is citywide. This matters for Parkchester creditors because the debtor’s employer or assets may not be in the Bronx at all. Given that over 32% of Parkchester residents commute 45 minutes to an hour each way to work, the employer being served on an income execution is often in another borough entirely.
You don’t need to find a Bronx-specific marshal or worry about whether the debtor’s workplace falls within a particular geographic boundary. One engagement with us covers the full scope of the enforcement action, wherever in the city it needs to be carried out. Our authority follows the case, not the office address.
How long does a New York judgment stay valid if I haven't collected yet?
A New York court judgment remains valid and enforceable for 20 years. That means if you won a judgment two, five, or even ten years ago and gave up on collecting — because the debtor claimed they had nothing, because a collection agency got nowhere, or because you didn’t know enforcement options existed — the judgment may still be fully actionable today.
This is especially relevant in a neighborhood like Parkchester, where economic circumstances can shift over time. A debtor who genuinely had no income or assets when the judgment was first issued may now have steady employment — which means an income execution could be served on their employer right now. The 20-year window exists precisely because financial situations change. If you’re sitting on an old judgment and wondering whether it’s worth revisiting, the answer is that it’s worth a conversation. Contacting us with the judgment details is the fastest way to find out whether enforcement is viable given what’s currently known about the debtor.
