How profitable is your business today compared to say five years ago?
Our net income is four times higher and our staff has increased more than 150 percent.

A group of 45 unit owners at Rector Square condominium in Battery Park filed a $100 million lawsuit against Yair Levy, Michael Shvo and you, alleging widespread fraud, negligence and misrepresentation. How do you respond to the suit?
In a lawsuit of this size — there are 12 defendants named — the
plaintiffs included as many parties as possible. As the managing agent,
we were also named. The majority of claims are unrelated to our role as
managing agent; we did nothing wrong.
