Eviction Marshal Services in Staten Island
Winning in Housing Court is not the same as getting your property back. The court issues the warrant — but it doesn’t send anyone to execute it. That part is on you, and it requires a licensed NYC Marshal with jurisdiction in Richmond County.
If you own a two-family home along Castleton Avenue or Lafayette Avenue in New Brighton and your rental unit is occupied by someone who stopped paying months ago, the financial pressure is real. Your mortgage doesn’t pause because the rent stopped coming in. New Brighton’s housing stock is built around exactly this situation — most of the neighborhood’s residential properties are pre-war two-family homes where the owner lives upstairs and depends on that second unit to carry the note.
When enforcement stalls, it’s not just inconvenient — it’s a direct threat to your financial stability. We handle income execution, property execution, and warrant enforcement across all five boroughs, including Staten Island, with the kind of steady, professional process that gets things moving without making a tense situation worse.
More than two-fifths of North Shore residents are renters, and more than half of those are rent-burdened according to the New York State Comptroller’s 2024 report. When a tenant genuinely can’t pay, voluntary resolution is rarely coming. Enforcement is the path forward, and we’ve been navigating that path since 1988.
NYC Marshal Serving Richmond County and New Brighton
Edward F. Guida Jr. is a NYC Marshal appointed by the Mayor of New York City, operating under Badge #14. He didn’t walk into this role cold. His father, Edward F. Guida Sr., served as a NYC Marshal for 25 years before passing in 2014. Edward Jr. was brought into the business in 2007, managed the transition after his father’s passing, and received his own mayoral appointment in 2016. The office manager and staff who worked under the father are still there today. That continuity isn’t a talking point — it’s institutional knowledge you can’t replicate.
We’re based in Corona, Queens, but hold jurisdiction across all five boroughs of New York City, including Richmond County. Every warrant of eviction and civil judgment issued by the Richmond County Civil and Housing Court at 927 Castleton Avenue — the courthouse that serves all of Staten Island — falls within our enforcement authority. For New Brighton landlords and creditors who’ve already been through the court process, that jurisdiction is what matters.
How NYC Marshal Enforcement Works in New Brighton, Staten Island
Once you have a Warrant of Eviction issued by the Richmond County Housing Court, you bring it to our office along with the required paperwork. We review what you’ve provided, confirm that all legal prerequisites are met, and walk you through anything that’s still needed. If you’ve never done this before — and most New Brighton landlords haven’t — our staff will tell you exactly what to bring and what to expect. You don’t need an attorney to get started.
From there, we serve the Notice of Eviction on the tenant, which triggers the legally required notice period before physical removal can occur. If the tenant does not vacate voluntarily during that window, we schedule the physical eviction with a licensed, bonded moving company present — as required by NYC law. A written inventory of any removed property is completed, and if vulnerable occupants are identified, the appropriate notifications go out. The process is structured, documented, and handled without unnecessary escalation.
One thing worth knowing if you’re in New Brighton specifically: the North Shore waterfront location means winter weather can occasionally delay scheduling. The NYC Department of Investigation has the authority to suspend evictions during severe weather events — something that has happened during major storms. It’s not common, but it’s a real factor. We’ll keep you informed if anything affects your timeline.

Income Execution and Property Execution in Staten Island
We handle the full range of civil enforcement services authorized under New York law. For landlords in New Brighton who need possession restored, that means executing Warrants of Eviction issued by the Richmond County Housing Court — whether the property is a historic Victorian in the Hamilton Park district or a two-family rental on a side street off Richmond Terrace. For creditors who have won money judgments in Civil Court or Small Claims Court, we pursue income execution and property execution across all five boroughs.
Income execution — commonly called wage garnishment — directs the debtor’s employer to deduct up to 10% of gross wages per pay period until the judgment is satisfied. Property execution allows us to levy bank accounts, seize cash, or pursue personal property. Both tools are available to creditors who have won judgments in Staten Island’s Civil Court, and both can be pursued simultaneously or sequentially depending on what information you have about the debtor’s assets.
If you won in Small Claims Court and assumed that was the end of it, it’s not — we can pick up from where the court left off. New York money judgments are enforceable for up to 20 years, which means you have time — but waiting doesn’t help. Debtors change jobs, close accounts, and move. The sooner enforcement begins, the better the odds of recovery. We also handle Parking Violation Operations, including vehicle booting and towing, as a separately authorized service.
How do I hire a NYC Marshal for an eviction in New Brighton, Staten Island?
Once the Richmond County Housing Court at 927 Castleton Avenue has issued a Warrant of Eviction in your case, you can bring that warrant directly to our office. You don’t need to go through an attorney, though many landlords do work with one. What you’ll need to provide includes the warrant itself, proof of service of the petition on the tenant, and any other documentation we identify as required based on the specifics of your case. Our staff will review what you have and tell you clearly what’s missing — that guidance is part of the process.
We handle eviction enforcement across all five boroughs, including Richmond County, so your location in New Brighton is fully within our jurisdiction. After you submit the paperwork and the required fees, we serve the Notice of Eviction, and the clock starts on the legally required notice period before physical removal can be scheduled. The timeline from that point depends on the tenant’s response and scheduling availability, but we’ll keep you informed throughout.
What is the difference between a NYC Marshal and the NYC Sheriff for evictions?
Both NYC Marshals and the NYC Sheriff’s Office have the authority to enforce civil court orders, including warrants of eviction. The practical difference is significant. NYC Marshals are independent public officers appointed by the Mayor — we earn income through statutory fees and poundage, which means we have a direct incentive to move efficiently. The NYC Sheriff is a salaried government employee operating within the city’s bureaucratic structure.
In practice, marshals handle the vast majority of NYC evictions. In 2023, NYC marshals executed approximately 26,000 evictions compared to roughly 1,200 by the Sheriff’s Office. That gap exists because marshals are typically faster to schedule and more accessible for individual landlords — including the small, owner-occupied two-family landlords who make up a significant share of New Brighton’s rental market. If you’ve won your case at the Richmond County Housing Court and want enforcement to move without unnecessary delay, a marshal is generally the more practical choice.
What happens if my tenant doesn't leave after the marshal serves the eviction notice?
Serving the Notice of Eviction starts the legally required notice period — typically around 72 hours — during which the tenant has the opportunity to vacate voluntarily. If they don’t leave by the time that window closes, we schedule the physical removal. On the day of the eviction, a licensed and bonded moving company is present as required by NYC law. We supervise the removal, and a written inventory of any property removed from the unit is completed on-site.
If we encounter a vulnerable occupant — someone who is elderly, disabled, or otherwise in a situation that requires additional attention — notifications go out to the appropriate city agencies. The process doesn’t skip those steps, and we conduct every eviction in a professional and neutral manner. For New Brighton landlords who live in the same building as their tenant, that professionalism matters — this is your home, not just an investment property, and we treat it accordingly.
Can a NYC Marshal collect a money judgment from someone who lives in New Brighton?
Yes. If you have a money judgment from the Richmond County Civil Court or from NYC Small Claims Court, we can pursue collection through income execution or property execution — or both. Income execution directs the debtor’s employer to withhold up to 10% of gross wages per pay period until the full judgment amount is recovered. Property execution allows us to levy the debtor’s bank accounts, seize cash, or pursue personal property.
To start an income execution, you’ll need to know where the debtor works. For a property execution targeting a bank account, you’ll need the name of the bank and ideally the account information. We don’t conduct asset searches — that’s on you — but once you have that information, we handle the rest. New York money judgments are enforceable for up to 20 years, so you’re not out of options if enforcement takes a few attempts. The sooner you start, the better your chances before a debtor’s financial situation changes.
How long does the full eviction process take in New Brighton from filing to removal?
The total timeline from initial court filing to physical removal in NYC typically runs between 60 and 120 days or more, depending on court scheduling, whether the tenant contests the case, and whether any Orders to Show Cause are filed to delay proceedings. The Housing Court process itself — getting to a judgment and then a warrant — takes up the bulk of that time. Once you have the warrant in hand and bring it to our office, our portion of the process moves considerably faster.
For New Brighton landlords, there’s one additional factor worth knowing: the North Shore waterfront location means severe winter weather can occasionally trigger a DOI-ordered suspension of all evictions citywide. These suspensions are temporary and relatively rare, but they can add days to your timeline if a storm hits close to your scheduled removal date. We’ll notify you of any delays that affect your case. Outside of weather events, we work to move cases through as efficiently as the legal framework allows.
I won in Small Claims Court in Staten Island — can a marshal actually help me collect?
Yes, and this is one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of the small claims process. Winning your case in Small Claims Court means the court has recognized that you’re owed money — but the court doesn’t collect it for you. Enforcement is your responsibility, and that’s where we come in. We’re authorized to enforce small claims judgments across all five boroughs, including Richmond County, through income execution and property execution.
The process works the same way as it does for larger civil court judgments. You bring your judgment to our office, provide what information you have about the debtor’s employer or bank, pay the required statutory fees, and we handle service and enforcement from there. The fees for income execution are set by New York State law — they’re not arbitrary — and the 5% poundage we retain is only charged on money actually collected, so you’re not paying for an outcome that doesn’t happen. For Staten Island small business owners, contractors, or individuals who are owed money after a dispute, this is a real and accessible path to recovery.
