Mr. Lycoyannis has wide-ranging experience and expertise in an array of real estate and commercial matters, including disputes arising out of commercial leases and contracts for the purchase and sale of real property; New York City rent regulation; commercial and residential landlord/tenant litigation; real estate brokerage commissions; condominium and cooperative disputes; construction litigation; adjacent landowner disputes; and the enforcement of promissory notes.
