Our Mission
To expertly deliver affordable tech-forward property management services that meets each client’s unique needs.
DOME was started nearly 40 years' ago knowing that each property is unique and has its different needs and requirements. Our experienced staff uses state-of-the-art technology, including industry leading AI tools, to provide prompt, experienced, yet affordable, management services, crafted to your unique needs.
As a proactive, family-owned business, DOME helps you prevent issues before they happen, with family members always on-site to ensure accountability. Balancing large-scale and personal care, DOME is large enough to deliver excellent affordable services around-the-clock, while remaining small enough to prioritize each client's unique needs.
There is no doubt. Experience Matters. No matter the issue, chances are DOME's managed through it before… several times.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Through 5 decades, DOME has managed hundreds of properties of all types including tens of thousands of homes, throughout NYC, NJ and Delaware.
Our staff consists of professionals with a wide-range of experience in the real estate field and beyond property management. Each member of our highly qualified and trained staff handles a different aspect of your community's needs - all of which are coordinated and supervised by your property manager.
Steven Motelson - Our Founder and Inspiration. After 20+ years of managing properties for some of the biggest names in New York City real estate, Steve founded DOME to bring high-quality professional property management to Staten Island.
Focusing on competence, trust and impeccable service, DOME grew to be the largest management company on Staten Island, managing all types of property throughout the New York Metropolitan area.
Michael J. Motelson, President - In addition to being our President since December 2000, Michael is a practicing attorney who has been representing community associations since 1992. Â He also follows issues and trends in local and national real estate law, and the industry in general, and he currently sits on the NYC Bar Association Cooperative & Condominium Law Committee. Â
While there is no obligation to use his law firm, DOME’s clients benefit every day from the experience of an actively practicing attorney being baked-in to our culture and operations.
Our Proud History
Founded in Staten Island, NY, on March 10, 1987, DOME Property Management was established by Steven Motelson, an experienced property manager with decades of experience managing large-scale apartment complexes in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Steve quickly grew DOME into Staten Island's largest property management company, expertly managing a diverse portfolio, including community associations (condominiums, cooperatives, and homeowners associations), apartments, retail, shopping centers, and mixed-use properties across New York City’s five boroughs, New Jersey, and Delaware.
On July 1, 2000, tragedy struck when Steven passed away in a car accident, just a few months after DOME relocated to its current location. Overcoming much adversity, the resilient team continued building on Steve's vision and persevered, ensuring DOME’s continued success for the future.
Today, DOME stands as Staten Island's leading property management company, offering expert and transparent service throughout New York City. With innovative tools like our Ask the Dewitt’s AI chatbot, the DOMEport website and mobile app, and state-of-the-art integrated AI tools, we empower owners and board members with 24/7 real-time access to important information Anytime and Anywhere.
Our people drive our success. Their expertise, dedication, and professionalism continue to shape DOME's legacy and propel us forward.
