Eviction Marshal Serving Richmond County
A lot of Port Richmond landlords find out the hard way that a Warrant of Eviction doesn’t remove anyone on its own. You won the case. The court did its job. But the court doesn’t send anyone to your door. That’s where a licensed NYC Marshal steps in — and without one, that warrant is just paper.
Port Richmond is a neighborhood of small property owners. Two-family homes on tight blocks, units rented to working families, landlords who are managing everything themselves without a legal team on retainer. When a tenant stops paying and the situation finally reaches the courts, the last thing you need is more confusion about what comes next.
We’ve been executing warrants of eviction across all five boroughs — including Richmond County — for decades. You get a clear process, professional execution, and an office that knows exactly what Richmond County Housing Court at 927 Castleton Avenue requires before a single step is taken.
For creditors chasing unpaid judgments — whether from NYC Civil Court, Supreme Court, or small claims — the same principle applies. Winning your case means you’re legally owed the money. Collecting it is a separate process entirely, and it requires someone with the legal authority to actually compel payment. That’s not a collection agency. That’s a NYC Marshal.
NYC Marshal Edward Guida — Staten Island
Edward F. Guida Jr. #14 NYC Marshal Services traces its roots back to 1988, when Edward F. Guida Sr. was appointed as a NYC Marshal and began building what would become nearly four decades of continuous civil enforcement experience in this city. Edward Jr. came into the business in 2007, managed the office through his father’s passing in 2014, and was formally appointed Marshal by the Mayor of New York City in 2016. The staff who worked under Edward Sr. are still in place today.
That matters for Port Richmond clients specifically. This neighborhood has gone through significant change — demographically, economically, and commercially — since the late 1980s. We’ve been navigating NYC’s civil enforcement landscape through all of it. When you call, you’re not talking to someone who’s new to this. You’re talking to a team that has processed warrants, income executions, and property executions through every shift this city has thrown at us.
We are appointed by the Mayor of New York City and regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation. That’s not a marketing credential — it’s a legal distinction that separates our office from any collection agency or private debt collector operating in Port Richmond or anywhere else.
How NYC Marshal Enforcement Works in Staten Island
Whether you’re a Port Richmond landlord with a Warrant of Eviction in hand, or a creditor who just won a judgment in small claims court, the process starts the same way: you contact our office, provide the relevant court documents, and we walk you through what’s needed from there. There’s no guesswork on your end. We’ll tell you exactly what paperwork is required and what the next steps look like.
For evictions, the warrant must be issued by Richmond County Housing Court before anything can move forward — and there are strict procedural requirements that have to be met first. The Good Cause Eviction Law, which is being enforced in 2026, adds additional complexity to Staten Island eviction proceedings, particularly around rent increases and tenant protections. Getting those prerequisites right before calling a marshal saves time. We can help you understand where you are in the process and what still needs to happen before enforcement can begin.
For judgment collection — income execution, property execution, or bank levy — we need to know where the debtor works or banks, because a marshal doesn’t locate assets for you. Once you provide that information, our office can serve the appropriate notices, docket the case, and begin the garnishment or levy process. Income execution results in recurring deductions from the debtor’s paycheck — up to 10% of gross wages under New York law — until the judgment is fully satisfied. Property execution targets bank accounts, cash, and personal property. Both options are available to Port Richmond creditors, and the right one depends on your specific situation.

NYC Marshal Services for Port Richmond Creditors and Landlords
We handle the full range of civil enforcement authorized under New York law. For landlords in Port Richmond and across Staten Island, that means legal possession and eviction enforcement once Richmond County Housing Court has issued a Warrant of Eviction. For creditors — whether you’re a small business owner on Port Richmond Avenue or an individual who won in small claims court — we can pursue income execution (wage garnishment), property execution (bank levy and asset seizure), and Supreme and Civil Court judgment collection across all five boroughs.
Small claims enforcement is worth calling out specifically, because it’s one of the most underserved areas in this space. A lot of Port Richmond residents and small business owners win in small claims court and then have no idea what to do when the other side doesn’t pay. The judgment doesn’t expire immediately — New York money judgments are enforceable for up to 20 years — but it also doesn’t collect itself. We are authorized to pursue both income and property execution on small claims judgments in Richmond County and every other borough.
We also handle parking violation operations, including vehicle booting and towing. All services are conducted in a neutral, unbiased, and professional manner — with respect for everyone involved. In a tight-knit neighborhood like Port Richmond, where how something gets handled matters as much as whether it gets handled, that’s not a small thing.
How do I hire an NYC Marshal for an eviction in Port Richmond, Staten Island?
Once Richmond County Housing Court issues a Warrant of Eviction, you can contact our office directly to begin the enforcement process. You don’t need an attorney to do this — many Port Richmond landlords handle this step on their own. What you do need is the warrant itself, along with any other documentation the court has issued in your case. We’ll walk you through what’s required and what the timeline looks like from there.
Richmond County Housing Court at 927 Castleton Avenue has specific procedural requirements that have to be satisfied before a marshal can act. If there are any outstanding steps on your end — proper notice to the tenant, compliance with the Good Cause Eviction Law requirements that took effect in 2026, or other prerequisites — those need to be resolved first. We can help you understand where you stand and what still needs to happen before enforcement can begin.
What is the difference between an NYC Marshal and the Sheriff for evictions in Staten Island?
Both NYC Marshals and the Sheriff’s Office are authorized to enforce eviction warrants in Staten Island, but we operate very differently. NYC Marshals are independent public officers appointed by the Mayor — we’re not city employees, and we earn income through statutory fees and poundage on collected amounts rather than a government salary. The Sheriff’s Office is a government agency with salaried staff. In practice, NYC Marshals handle the overwhelming majority of evictions in the city — roughly 26,000 marshal evictions were performed across the five boroughs in 2023, compared to approximately 1,200 by the Sheriff’s Office.
For most Port Richmond landlords, working with a NYC Marshal is the faster, more direct path. Marshals have a direct incentive to move efficiently because our compensation is tied to results. We serve all five boroughs including Richmond County, so whether your property is in Port Richmond or anywhere else on Staten Island, the jurisdiction is covered.
Can an NYC Marshal collect a small claims judgment in Staten Island?
Yes. If you won a judgment in Staten Island Small Claims Court and the other side hasn’t paid, you can hire a NYC Marshal to enforce it through income execution or property execution. Income execution — wage garnishment — creates a recurring deduction from the debtor’s paycheck, up to 10% of gross wages, until the judgment is fully paid. Property execution allows us to levy bank accounts, seize cash, or attach personal property.
The key thing to understand is that you need to know where the debtor works or banks before the process can move forward. We don’t locate assets for you — that’s your responsibility as the creditor. For Port Richmond small business owners and individual creditors who already know where the debtor is employed or maintains accounts, this is often a straightforward process. New York money judgments remain enforceable for up to 20 years, so even if you’re not ready to act immediately, you have time to gather the information you need.
How long does the eviction process take in Staten Island after I get a warrant?
The timeline from initial court filing to physical removal in New York City typically runs anywhere from 60 to 120 days or more, depending on court scheduling, tenant responses, and any motions filed along the way. By the time you have a Warrant of Eviction in hand from Richmond County Housing Court, you’ve already been through the longest part of the process. Our role at that stage is to serve the required notices and schedule the physical eviction — and we handle that with the efficiency and professionalism that the situation requires.
One thing that can affect timing on Staten Island specifically is weather. The NYC Department of Investigation has the authority to suspend all evictions citywide during severe winter storms — this has happened as recently as January 2026. If your eviction is scheduled during a period of winter weather, there may be a brief delay outside anyone’s control. Beyond that, the process moves according to court-issued dates and the legal notice requirements that apply in Richmond County. We’ll keep you informed throughout.
What is income execution and how does wage garnishment work in New York?
Income execution — commonly called wage garnishment — is a legal process that allows a marshal to collect on a court judgment by directing the debtor’s employer to deduct a portion of their wages each pay period. In New York, that deduction is capped at 10% of the debtor’s gross wages under state law. Those deductions continue on a recurring basis until the full judgment amount is satisfied.
The process starts with us serving the income execution on the debtor, who then has approximately 20 days to begin making voluntary payments before we serve the employer directly. Once the employer is served, the deductions begin automatically. For Port Richmond creditors dealing with debtors who have steady employment — even modest wages — this is often the most reliable path to full recovery, because it doesn’t depend on the debtor choosing to pay. It’s a structured, court-authorized process that keeps collecting until the debt is cleared.
What happens if the debtor has no job — can I still collect my judgment in Port Richmond?
Income execution only works if the debtor has a wage-earning job, but it’s not your only option. Property execution allows us to levy the debtor’s bank accounts, seize cash, or attach personal property to satisfy the judgment. These are separate enforcement tools, and they can be pursued even when income execution isn’t viable.
Port Richmond’s economic landscape — a working-class neighborhood with a mix of wage earners, self-employed individuals, and small business operators — means the right enforcement approach varies by situation. A debtor who doesn’t have a traditional employer may still maintain a bank account or hold personal assets that can be reached through property execution. A bank levy under New York law remains effective for 90 days, during which a turnover proceeding can be commenced if needed. We can help you think through which avenue makes the most sense given what you know about the debtor’s situation, and pursue the path most likely to produce an actual result.
