Bronx Eviction Marshal and Judgment Enforcement
Winning in court is step one. The court doesn’t collect for you, and it doesn’t remove a tenant who refuses to leave. That’s where we come in.
Williamsbridge and the surrounding Baychester area rank among the highest in New York City for eviction filings, with 83 to 121 filings per 1,000 renter households according to the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development. Nearly three out of four residents here are renters, and rent burden in this district runs between 60% and 64%. That combination — high renter concentration, persistent affordability stress, and a Bronx Housing Court still working through a significant backlog — means landlords in Williamsbridge are waiting longer and losing more before they finally get a warrant in hand.
When that warrant arrives, you need it executed. Not delayed, not mishandled, not turned into another round of paperwork. We cover the entire Bronx from a single office, with over 35 years of experience handling exactly this situation — professionally, efficiently, and with the kind of documentation that protects you legally throughout the process.
NYC Marshal Serving the Bronx Since 1988
We are a second-generation family marshal office that has been serving New York City since 1988. Edward Guida Jr. carries on the work of his father, Edward Guida Sr., whose dedication to the outer-borough communities he served was so widely respected that the City of New York renamed the corner of 104th Street and 48th Avenue in Corona, Queens in his honor — it’s now officially called Edward Guida Way.
This isn’t a faceless collection operation. We’re a mayor-appointed public office, regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation, bonded at $100,000, and accountable to the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court. Badge number 14 has meant something in this city for a long time.
For Williamsbridge residents dealing with Bronx Housing Court at 1118 Grand Concourse or a small claims judgment out of Bronx Civil Court on the Grand Concourse, that history and accountability translates directly into a marshal you can actually rely on.
How Bronx Income Execution and Eviction Works
The process starts with what you already have. If you’re a landlord, that’s a Warrant of Eviction issued by Bronx Housing Court. If you’re a creditor, it’s a civil judgment from Bronx Civil Court or a small claims judgment from the same courthouse at 851 Grand Concourse. You bring that documentation to our office, and from there, we take over.
For evictions, we serve the legally required notice and schedule the physical execution of the warrant. In Williamsbridge, that means coordinating with the NYPD’s 47th Precinct at 4111 Laconia Avenue — which is standard procedure for any eviction in this part of the northeast Bronx. The process is conducted professionally and by the book, which matters both for your legal standing and for keeping a difficult situation from escalating.
For income execution, the process works differently. Once a valid judgment is in place, we serve a formal demand on the debtor. If they don’t respond within the required period, we serve their employer directly — legally requiring that employer to withhold 10% of the debtor’s gross wages each paycheck until the judgment is satisfied. In a neighborhood where a large share of residents work steady W-2 jobs in healthcare, city government, transit, and retail, this is often one of the most straightforward enforcement tools available. One call to our office starts the whole thing.

NYC Marshal Services for Williamsbridge Residents
We handle the full range of civil enforcement that Williamsbridge residents and landlords are most likely to need. That includes evictions once a Warrant of Eviction has been issued by Bronx Housing Court, income execution against wage earners, property execution for debtors who aren’t traditional employees, and enforcement of small claims court judgments from Bronx Civil Court.
Property execution is worth understanding if you’ve written off a debtor who doesn’t have a conventional job. This tool allows us to seize cash, inventory, equipment, or other personal property to satisfy a judgment — which is relevant in a neighborhood like Williamsbridge where White Plains Road and the surrounding blocks support a variety of small businesses, including independent shops and Caribbean and Jamaican restaurants and service providers. A debtor without a paycheck isn’t necessarily uncollectable.
It’s also worth knowing that a New York civil judgment stays valid for 20 years. If you won a judgment years ago and gave up on collecting, that doesn’t mean the window is closed. Circumstances change — debtors get jobs, acquire property, open businesses. The legal mechanism to collect is still there as long as the judgment is active, and we can pick up where you left off.
Can a NYC marshal execute an eviction in Williamsbridge even if the office isn't in the Bronx?
Yes, and this is one of the most common misconceptions about how NYC marshals work. Our authority is not limited to the borough where our office is located. We’re based in Corona, Queens, but are fully authorized to execute court orders — including evictions and judgment enforcement — across all five boroughs, including every neighborhood in the Bronx. For Williamsbridge landlords, that means you don’t need to find a Bronx-based marshal specifically. What matters is that the marshal is appointed by the Mayor of New York City and authorized to operate citywide. We’ve been doing exactly that since 1988, and the Bronx — including the northeast Bronx neighborhoods served by the 47th Precinct — is fully within our operational territory.
What's the difference between hiring a NYC marshal and using a collection agency in the Bronx?
A collection agency can call, send letters, and report to credit bureaus. We can seize property, garnish wages, and physically execute a court-ordered eviction. That’s not a minor distinction — it’s the difference between someone asking a debtor to pay and a court-authorized public officer legally compelling it. We’re appointed by the Mayor, regulated by the NYC Department of Investigation, and operate under the authority of the civil courts. We don’t need the debtor’s cooperation to enforce an income execution or execute a warrant. Collection agencies, by contrast, have no legal power to compel payment — they can only request it. If you’ve already gone through the court process and have a judgment or warrant in hand, we’re the next step, not another round of collection calls.
How does income execution actually work for a Williamsbridge creditor with a small claims judgment?
If you won a judgment in Bronx Small Claims Court — say, against a former tenant who damaged your apartment or a contractor who never finished the job — you have the legal right to enforce that judgment through income execution. Most people who win in small claims court don’t know this, and many give up on collecting because they assume there’s nothing they can do once the debtor ignores the judgment. Here’s how it actually works: we first serve a formal income execution on the debtor, giving them a short window to begin voluntary payment. If they don’t respond, we serve their employer directly. Under New York law, that employer is then legally required to withhold 10% of the debtor’s gross wages each paycheck and remit it toward the judgment. In Williamsbridge, where a significant share of residents work steady jobs in healthcare, transit, city government, and retail, there’s often an identifiable employer to serve — which makes income execution a genuinely effective tool, not just a theoretical one.
What happens if my Williamsbridge tenant refuses to leave after I get the warrant of eviction?
Getting the Warrant of Eviction from Bronx Housing Court is the legal authorization — but it doesn’t remove the tenant automatically. You need a NYC City Marshal to physically execute it. We serve the required notice of eviction, schedule the execution date, and coordinate with the NYPD’s 47th Precinct, which covers Williamsbridge, to ensure the process goes smoothly. On the scheduled date, we arrive at the property and oversee the physical removal of the tenant and their belongings if they haven’t vacated. The process is conducted according to strict legal procedures — which protects you as the landlord from liability and ensures the eviction holds up if challenged. We handle this with the professionalism and neutrality the role requires, treating all parties with respect throughout. That matters especially in a neighborhood like Williamsbridge where many landlords live in the same building or on the same block as their tenants.
How long does the eviction process take in the Bronx after receiving a warrant?
Once you have the Warrant of Eviction in hand, our portion of the process moves on a set legal timeline — but the total time from filing to execution has been longer in the Bronx than in most other boroughs due to housing court backlogs that worsened significantly in 2024. Bronx multifamily landlords have been collecting rent on only about 90% of their units on average, and roughly 60% of Bronx rental buildings reported operational losses last year. The court delay is real, and by the time many Williamsbridge landlords receive their warrant, they’ve already been waiting months. Once the warrant is issued and you engage us, the notice of eviction must be served before the execution can be scheduled. Winter weather can also create short-term scheduling delays — the NYC Department of Investigation has the authority to suspend evictions during severe winter storms, which has happened as recently as early 2026. That said, once the legal timeline is met, we move as quickly as the schedule allows. The sooner you engage our office after receiving your warrant, the sooner the process gets moving.
Can a NYC marshal help if the debtor has no job — only a small business on White Plains Road?
Yes. Income execution targets wages, but property execution targets everything else — and it’s a tool that’s often overlooked by creditors who assume a debtor without a traditional employer is uncollectable. Property execution allows us to seize cash, business inventory, equipment, furniture, or other personal property belonging to the debtor in order to satisfy the judgment. For creditors in Williamsbridge dealing with a debtor who runs a small business along White Plains Road or anywhere in the northeast Bronx, property execution can be a direct and effective path to recovery. We arrive at the location, identify seizable assets, and take possession of them on behalf of the judgment creditor. It’s a court-authorized process — not a confrontation — and it’s conducted according to the same professional standards that govern every enforcement action we carry out. If you’re not sure whether a debtor has collectible assets, that’s worth a conversation with our office before you write off the judgment entirely.
