NYC Marshal Services in The Bronx, NY
The Bronx Leads NYC in Evictions — We Handle What Comes After the Court Order
Hear from Our Customers
Eviction Marshal Serving The Bronx
The Bronx accounts for 34% of all NYC marshal evictions — more than any other borough. That’s not a coincidence. With 80% of households renter-occupied and a housing court at 1118 Grand Concourse that processes more eviction warrants than almost any other in the country, the volume of enforcement work here is real and ongoing. Landlords in Mott Haven, Tremont, Fordham, and across The Bronx are winning their cases every week. The problem isn’t the court ruling — it’s what comes after.
When you hire us, the dynamic changes. Income execution means your debtor’s employer is legally required to withhold up to 10% of gross wages from every paycheck until your judgment is satisfied. We don’t ask the debtor to cooperate — we don’t have to. Property execution allows for the seizure of cash and personal property. These aren’t negotiating tools — they’re court-authorized enforcement mechanisms that a collection agency simply cannot offer.
The Bronx also carries the highest debt delinquency rate in New York State. That means creditors here — small business owners in Parkchester, landlords in Soundview, individuals who won a Small Claims judgment and gave up — may be sitting on money they don’t realize is still collectible. A judgment in New York is enforceable for up to 20 years and accrues 9% annual interest. If you think your window has closed, it probably hasn’t.
NYC Marshal Serving Bronx County, NY
I’m Edward F. Guida Jr., Marshal, City of New York #14 — appointed by the Mayor of New York City following a background investigation by the NYC Department of Investigation. That appointment isn’t a formality. It’s what gives this office the legal authority to enforce court orders that no private collection agency, no debt firm, and no attorney can replicate on their own.
We founded this office in 1988 and have operated continuously under the Guida name ever since. Staff members who worked under my father are still part of the team today. That kind of institutional continuity matters in The Bronx, where the court system, the neighborhoods, and the enforcement landscape are as complex as anywhere in the city.
We’re based in Corona, Queens — directly accessible from The Bronx via the Bruckner Expressway and the Cross Bronx Expressway — and we serve all five boroughs under one roof. There’s no need to find a separate marshal for a property in Brooklyn or a debtor working in Manhattan. One call covers it all.
Bronx Judgment Enforcement Process Explained
Once you have a judgment in hand — whether from Bronx Civil Court, Bronx Housing Court, or Small Claims — the next step is contacting us to determine the right enforcement approach. That depends on what you’re trying to collect and what you know about the debtor’s assets. If you’re a landlord with a Warrant of Eviction, the process moves toward scheduling the execution. If you’re a creditor trying to collect a money judgment, the conversation turns to income execution, property execution, or both.
For income execution, we mail the execution directly to the debtor first. If they don’t voluntarily pay within 20 days, we serve their employer. From that point, the employer is legally required to deduct up to 10% of gross wages from every paycheck and remit those funds. The debtor’s cooperation isn’t needed — and that’s the point.
For evictions, we serve the Notice of Eviction at least 14 days before the earliest eviction date. The Bronx’s post-pandemic court backlog has meant many landlords are holding warrants issued months ago and still haven’t moved forward. If that’s where you are, the process can begin as soon as you reach out. Under a 2024 state law, eviction notices must also be posted online within 24 hours of service — we handle that compliance as part of the process, not as an afterthought.

Bronx Eviction and Debt Collection Services
We handle the full range of civil enforcement services for Bronx creditors and property owners. Landlord and tenant enforcement covers legal possession and eviction once a Warrant of Eviction has been issued by the court — this is the most common need in The Bronx, where eviction filing rates hit 104.1 per 1,000 rental units, the highest of any NYC borough. Income execution is available for judgment creditors who know where the debtor is employed, and property execution covers the seizure of cash and personal property to satisfy a judgment. Small Claims enforcement is also available — and given how many Bronx small business owners and individuals win judgments and then walk away assuming they can’t collect, this is a service worth knowing about.
The Bronx’s rental housing landscape adds specific complexity. The 2024 Good Cause Eviction law introduced new procedural requirements for landlords with previously unregulated units — requirements that affect how and when enforcement can proceed. We stay current on those changes. For landlords managing properties in neighborhoods like Highbridge, Morris Heights, or Belmont where rent-stabilized and unregulated units often exist side by side in the same building, that matters.
Marshal fees are set by statute and are identical across every NYC marshal office. There is no cost advantage to choosing a different marshal based on their address. The 5% poundage collected on money judgments comes out of what’s recovered — not out of your pocket upfront.
