Security for Manhattan Homes & Businesses

Manhattan presents installation challenges you simply don't find anywhere else. Pre-war co-ops have thick concrete and terracotta walls that require careful routing to avoid damage and keep runs concealed. High-rise buildings often have strict building management requirements — permits, insurance certificates, and coordination with superintendents before a single drill goes in. Ground-floor retail and restaurant spaces deal with high foot traffic, shared entryways, and landlords who want minimal impact to the facade. We've worked in all of it, and we know how to get the job done cleanly, on schedule, and in a way that satisfies both the building and the client.

Common Questions

FAQ — Manhattan Security Installation

Yes, without exception. Seneca Security carries full general liability insurance and we are licensed as a low-voltage contractor in New York State. We can provide certificates of insurance naming your building or management company as an additional insured, and we'll supply whatever documentation your co-op board or building manager requires before we set foot in the building. This is standard for us — we work in Manhattan buildings regularly and we know what's expected.
For a residential apartment or small retail space, a straightforward wired PoE camera system with a recorder typically runs between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on the number of cameras, the complexity of the cable run, and whether any conduit work is required. Manhattan installs can run toward the higher end of that range when building rules require conduit in common areas or when walls are particularly difficult to work through. We give firm, itemized quotes before any work begins — no vague estimates, no surprise add-ons.
In most cases, yes. If any part of the installation touches common areas — hallways, elevator lobbies, or shared electrical rooms — you'll need sign-off from building management or your co-op board. Even for fully in-unit work, many buildings require advance notice and proof of contractor insurance. We can help you navigate that process, draft the scope of work for board approval if needed, and coordinate directly with your super or property manager to schedule access. We've done this enough times in Manhattan that it's a routine part of our process, not an obstacle.
