History
T.U.R.F. originally stands for Tenants United Relief Fund, a precursor to Co-ops. TURF was started by a tenant organizer for several years in the early 1980's in Brooklyn, the goal was to encourage low-to-moderate income tenants to become apartment owners so as to assure their security in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. To that end, TURF converted several buildings into cooperatives in Brooklyn and Manhattan. TURF Co. still manages and/or owns these apartments today. TURF is also contracted with N.Y. City Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development to manage, rehabilitate and ultimately own distressed apartment houses in Brooklyn. Consequently, TURF Company is an extensive management and ownership business that serves a range of tenants and owners. With an owner's eye for efficiency and a sympathetic consciousness of tenants' concerns.
