On Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill, a six-unit condo board had reached its breaking point. Their previous manager was slow to act, communication was inconsistent, and no one could say with certainty which projects were being handled or ignored. Everyday issues dragged on for weeks. Even basic information about building finances took immense effort to uncover. The frustration was so constant that board members joked they were doing the manager’s job for him.
When the building hired Daisy, the change was immediate. Every task, from roof repairs to hallway painting, was entered into a system where progress could be tracked in real time. The board stopped guessing and started seeing. Residents began using the Daisy app to track requests, see updates in real time, and handle payments with a few taps, giving them clarity and control they never had before. Response times, which had once been measured in days, shrank to minutes. That six-unit building went from reactive chaos to a calm, predictable routine.
Stories like this explain why Daisy has been growing so quickly in Brooklyn. The company now manages more than 200 buildings across New York, with many of them in Brooklyn. The reviews tell a similar story: a 4.6 Google rating in a field where mediocre service is the norm. With an average response time of three minutes, Daisy has replaced the waiting game that many residents once measured in weeks.
Daisy’s model is different from what most boards are used to. Traditional management usually leans on one overworked manager who handles everything, from compliance filings to clogged drains. Daisy replaces that structure with specialized teams. Finance experts manage budgets and taxes. Compliance specialists track city filings and violations. Vendor managers solicit bids and monitor contracts. Resident support staff answer questions around the clock. Each building still has an account manager, but that person is backed by an entire team, ensuring no single inbox becomes a bottleneck.
For a Williamsburg condo board, this shift was transformative. They had grown tired of “managing the manager,” a phrase that captured how much time they spent chasing their old property manager to finish tasks. With Daisy, the board gained one point of contact for strategic decisions, while the behind-the-scenes teams took care of execution. Finances were updated daily in the board dashboard, compliance deadlines were met without reminders, and residents had someone to answer their questions. Board members found themselves freed from busywork and able to focus on long-term planning instead of constant follow-up.
Smaller buildings have also benefited. In Fort Greene, a brownstone condo wanted support without the cost of a full-time super. Daisy provided a part-time Super who handled maintenance and day-to-day needs. The board no longer had to manage payroll or HR, but residents still had reliable on-site help. Daisy’s super service has proven especially useful in Brooklyn’s smaller condos.
These building-level stories add up to a larger pattern. Every building in the network contributes to a data-driven operating system that monitors finances, maintenance requests, and compliance health. Boards see this information distilled onto one dashboard with reports, data, and insights that make governance easier. Residents experience it through an app that handles payments, packages, and building updates. Everyone sees the results in the speed and clarity of communication.
The company’s founding explains why it works this way. CEO and Co-founder Yotam Cohen once lived in a building where neighbors were friends and daily life felt effortless, only to later move into one where disputes and delays were constant. Serving on the board of that second building exposed the flaws of the entire industry: outdated systems, poor transparency, and a lack of care for residents. Together with Co-founder Nir Hemed, he set out to build a company that combined professional management with modern tools and a focus on community. Daisy was the result, and its mission has remained the same, to improve how buildings run so that people can enjoy where they live.
In Brooklyn, that mission is visible in the way boards describe their relief after switching. Instead of wondering if emails were seen, they can watch tasks move from open to resolved. Instead of debating whether budgets are accurate, they can log in and see daily updates. Instead of waiting weeks for answers, residents receive replies in minutes. The company even organizes building events to encourage neighbors to connect, echoing Cohen’s first experience of community life in a well run building.
The challenges of Brooklyn property management are unique: brownstones and boutique buildings with decades of deferred maintenance, co-ops navigating complex compliance filings, new condos balancing amenities with costs. Daisy’s system is built to handle that variety. The Cobble Hill condo with six units and no super, the Williamsburg building that needed financial oversight, the Fort Greene brownstone looking for part-time support, all of them found a model that adapts rather than a manager stretched thin.
Serving on a board often feels thankless and traditional property management has a reputation for opacity. Daisy has offered a different model: quick responses, transparent finances, proactive compliance, and reliable resident support. That’s why its presence has expanded so quickly in Brooklyn. And it’s why a six-unit building on Atlantic Avenue is no longer laughing about “managing the manager.” They’re watching their building run the way it always should have.
