Brooklyn Landlords: Your Warrant Is Only as Good as Who Executes It

Brooklyn Eviction Marshal and Judgment Enforcement
Most people who win a judgment in Brooklyn never see a dime. Not because the law failed them — but because no one told them the court doesn’t collect for you. The judgment sits there, accruing 9% interest per year, while the debtor keeps their paycheck and their bank account untouched. That’s the gap we fill.
Once enforcement starts, the picture changes fast. A wage garnishment puts automatic deductions on the debtor’s paycheck — directly through their employer. A bank levy freezes funds at the account level, often within a single business day of us serving the garnishee. For Brooklyn landlords who’ve been waiting out a nonpaying tenant through months of Housing Court appearances, a properly executed eviction finally ends the financial bleed.
Brooklyn’s rental market makes this especially consequential. With a homeownership rate of just 29%, the overwhelming majority of people here are renters — which means there’s a massive base of landlords, from the owner of a two-family brownstone in Bed-Stuy to large complex operators in Crown Heights, who regularly need enforcement that actually moves. When a marshal covers all five boroughs and has operated in Kings County courts for over 35 years, the process doesn’t just start — it finishes.
NYC Marshal Serving Kings County Brooklyn
NYC Marshal Edward Guida traces its roots to 1988, when Edward F. Guida Sr. founded the office in Brooklyn. His son, Edward F. Guida Jr., was recruited into the practice in 2007, managed the office through a transition period, and was officially appointed City Marshal in 2016. That’s not a marketing timeline — it’s two generations of hands-on experience in the same courts, serving the same neighborhoods.
Kings County Housing Court at 141 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn is one of the busiest eviction courts in the country. Knowing how to navigate it — the procedures, the paperwork, the timing — matters. Our office has been doing exactly that since before most of Brooklyn’s current landlords owned their first property.
We’re authorized to perform income executions, property executions, and evictions across all five boroughs. Whether your debtor works in Manhattan or banks in Queens, enforcement doesn’t stop at the borough line.
How Brooklyn Judgment Enforcement Actually Works
After you’ve received a judgment from Kings County Civil Court or a Warrant of Eviction from Kings County Housing Court, the next step is getting it enforced. That’s where we come in — and it’s more straightforward than most people expect.
For income execution, the process starts with us serving the debtor directly. If the debtor doesn’t respond or make payment within the time allowed, we then serve the employer — and payroll deductions begin automatically. Brooklyn debtors frequently work outside the borough, commuting into Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge or the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, or heading into Queens along the BQE. Because we’re authorized to operate in all five boroughs, the employer gets served regardless of where they’re located.
For property execution, we can levy a bank account — often within a single business day of the judgment being entered. Personal property can also be seized and sold to satisfy the debt. For evictions, once the Warrant of Eviction is in hand, we serve a 14-day Notice of Eviction before scheduling the physical lockout. Brooklyn’s large rent-stabilized housing stock means these cases sometimes involve additional legal complexity, and working with a marshal who follows the DOI Handbook of Regulations to the letter protects the integrity of the entire proceeding. Every step is handled by our office — you don’t have to chase it.

Brooklyn, NY Income Execution and Eviction Services
We handle the full range of civil enforcement services in Brooklyn — income execution, property execution, Supreme and Civil Court judgment collection, and landlord-tenant evictions including legal possession. Small claims judgments from Kings County Small Claims Court at 141 Livingston Street are also enforceable through our office, by both income and property execution, across all five boroughs.
That last point matters more than people realize: many Brooklyn small business owners — contractors in Sunset Park, vendors along Atlantic Avenue, service providers throughout Borough Park — win in small claims court and then have no idea what to do next. We’re the answer they didn’t know existed.
For landlords, we handle both full evictions and legal possession, depending on the circumstances. A full eviction requires us to coordinate a bonded moving company and licensed warehouse for the tenant’s belongings. Legal possession is a less costly alternative where the tenant’s property remains under the landlord’s care until they arrange transport. Both options are available through our office.
Brooklyn’s dense mix of rent-stabilized apartments, multi-family brownstones, large residential complexes, and commercial properties means enforcement situations vary widely from neighborhood to neighborhood — from Williamsburg to Brownsville to Bay Ridge. We’re equipped to handle that range, and have been doing so across Kings County for over three decades.
