Location: Serving NYC, LIC, Brooklyn, and the Tri-State Area
If you are a property manager in NYC, Long Island City, or Brooklyn, you know the sinking feeling of walking into a unit after a long, drawn-out eviction process. You finally have the keys back, but the celebration is cut short the moment you open the door. The unit is filled with leftover furniture, trash, and a layer of grime that seems impossible to tackle.
Every day that unit sits empty is money out of your pocket. In a high-stakes market like New York, vacancy is the enemy. You don’t have weeks to wait for separate junk haulers, cleaning crews, and handymen to coordinate their schedules. You need a solution that is fast, reliable, and thorough.
At Fresh Start Facility Services, we’ve built our reputation on one promise: we can take a property from eviction-disaster to move-in ready in just 24 to 48 hours. We understand that your job is already stressful enough. Let us handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on getting a new tenant signed and the rent checks flowing again.
The High Cost of Vacancy in the NYC Market
In neighborhoods like LIC and Brooklyn, residential and commercial rents are at an all-time high. A single week of vacancy doesn't just cost you the pro-rated rent; it costs you the momentum of the leasing cycle.
When a tenant is evicted, the property is often left in a state of "trash-out" emergency. We’ve seen it all: piles of old mattresses, refrigerators full of spoiled food, and walls that haven't seen a sponge in years. Trying to manage this yourself or hiring unspecialized contractors usually leads to delays. You call a junk removal company, but they leave the floors filthy. You call a cleaning service, but they won't touch the minor repairs.
This fragmented approach is why most turnarounds take 7 to 14 days. Our mission at Fresh Start is to collapse that timeline. We provide a single-source solution that covers every inch of the property maintenance process.
The Fresh Start Workflow: Our 3-Step Success System
How do we actually achieve a 24-48 hour turnaround? It isn’t magic; it’s a disciplined, military-grade workflow designed specifically for the NYC property manager. We’ve refined our process to ensure that no time is wasted between the "junk out" and the "deep clean."
1. Rapid Junk Removal & Trash-Out
The first barrier to a move-in ready unit is the physical debris. Our team arrives with the equipment and manpower to clear out even the most hoarding-level situations. We don't just toss things into a truck; we ensure the removal is done safely without damaging the hallways or elevators of your building. This is critical in NYC apartments where tight corners and strict building rules are the norms.

2. Deep Turnover Cleaning
Once the junk is gone, the real work begins. A standard "maid service" won't cut it for an eviction cleanout. We perform a clinical-level deep clean. This includes:
- Kitchen & Baths: Sanitizing appliances inside and out, degreasing vents, and scrubbing tile grout.
- Floors: High-grade carpet cleaning and floor buffing to restore that "like-new" shine.
- Air Quality: Removing odors that linger after a tenant leaves.
3. Minor Repairs & "Final Touch" Maintenance
A unit isn't move-in ready if there are holes in the walls or leaking faucets. As part of our turnover service, we handle the interior painting and minor repairs that usually require a separate handyman. We fix the scuffs, replace the light bulbs, and ensure the unit looks impeccable for the first showing.
Why 24-48 Hours? Because Time is Your Most Valuable Asset
We get asked all the time: "Can you really do all that in two days?" The answer is a resounding yes. We achieve this by deploying specialized teams simultaneously. While the junk removal crew is finishing the back rooms, the cleaning crew is starting in the front.
This synchronized effort is what makes Fresh Start the premier choice for turnover cleaning in Brooklyn and LIC. We don’t wait for one stage to finish before starting the next. We move with the urgency that the NYC real estate market demands.
Avoiding Common Mistakes in Eviction Cleanouts
Many property managers try to cut corners to save a few dollars, only to end up spending more in the long run. We’ve identified 7 common mistakes property managers make with eviction cleanouts in NYC, and the biggest one is failing to realize that "clean" isn't the same as "move-in ready."
If a prospective tenant walks into a unit and smells a hint of the previous occupant's pets or sees a stain on the carpet, they won't sign the lease. Or worse, they’ll use those flaws to negotiate the rent down. Our goal is to give you a "fresh start" where you can command top-market rent because the unit looks and smells brand new.
Protecting Your Investment
Beyond just the aesthetics, our thorough process helps protect the long-term value of your property. Leaving trash or grime in a unit can lead to pest issues or permanent damage to flooring and fixtures. By choosing a professional eviction cleanout NYC specialist, you’re ensuring that your investment is preserved.
The Fresh Start Difference: Professionalism You Can Trust

Henry Fernandez, our owner, believes in a "boots on the ground" approach. We don't just send a crew and hope for the best; we manage the process from start to finish to ensure our 24-48 hour promise is kept every single time.
Eco-Friendly & Compliant
We also stay ahead of the curve regarding NYC regulations. From waste disposal compliance to understanding Local Law 97, we ensure that our cleaning and maintenance practices are both effective and environmentally responsible. We use high-grade, eco-friendly cleaning agents that are tough on dirt but safe for the next family moving in.
