CTU Conway Tenants Union New Yorkers Organizing Together

Tenant-led · Building power together

You are not alone in your building.

Conway Tenants Union (CTU) represents tenants who began organizing — and reaching out to their neighbors — to make sure their buildings are safe, stable, and maintained. We're connecting residents across buildings owned or managed by Conway Capital, Conway Management, and Abe Cohen.

Are you a current or prospective tenant of a Conway-owned building? Reaching out is free, confidential, and there's no obligation.

What is Conway Tenants Union?

We are tenants — not a company, not a law firm, not a government agency. CTU represents residents who began organizing in their own buildings and reaching out to others to make sure their homes are safe, stable, and properly maintained. We're now connecting tenants across the wider portfolio of buildings tied to Conway Capital, Conway Management, and Abe Cohen.

Our goal is simple: help neighbors find each other, share information, and organize so that no tenant has to face problems with their landlord alone.

What we do

  • Connect tenants across Conway-owned buildings
  • Share information about repairs, conditions, and landlord practices
  • Support the formation of building-level Tenant Associations
  • Point neighbors toward their legal rights and free resources
  • Give prospective tenants a heads-up before they sign a lease

How we're organized

CTU is built from the ground up — tenants in each building organize themselves and reach out to neighbors in others, so no one has to push for a safe, stable, well-kept home alone.

1

Tenant Association

Residents of a single building organizing together. Our first Tenant Association is up and running — and more buildings are joining.

2

Conway Tenants Union

Tenants and Tenant Associations across Conway-affiliated buildings, reaching out to each other to share information, resources, and support.

3

You

Every tenant who reaches out makes us stronger. Your building could be the next Tenant Association.

Who we organize around

We are connecting tenants of buildings owned or managed by the following entities. If your landlord, management company, or lease references any of these names, you belong here.

Conway Capital

Ownership entity associated with residential buildings in the portfolio.

Conway Management

Management company handling day-to-day operations for affiliated buildings.

Abe Cohen

Individual associated with the ownership and management of these properties.

Thinking about renting from Conway?

Before you sign a lease, talk to the people who already live there. Current tenants can share their real, first-hand experience — the kind of information you won't find in a listing.

Before you sign, ask about

  • How quickly repairs and maintenance requests are handled
  • The condition of heat, hot water, and building systems
  • How the landlord handles deposits and lease renewals
  • Whether there are open violations on the building
  • Whether the building has an active Tenant Association

Do your own homework

You can look up any NYC building's open violations and complaint history for free through the city:

We share tenants' documented, first-hand experiences. We encourage everyone to verify conditions themselves using public records before making housing decisions.

Know your rights

New York tenants have strong legal protections. Organizing with your neighbors is one of them — it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against tenants for forming or joining a tenant association.

Right to organize

NY law protects your right to form, join, and participate in a tenant association without retaliation.

Right to repairs

Your landlord must keep your home safe and habitable — heat, hot water, and essential repairs are not optional.

Protection from harassment

Tenant harassment is illegal in NYC. You have the right to peaceful enjoyment of your home.
