The Real Reason People Hire a Lawyer When Buying a Laundromat in Queens


Laundromats in Queens often involve more legal complexity than expected. Without proper legal support, buyers risk taking on serious financial liabilities. Here’s what can happen without the right attorney on your side:

✔ Paying top dollar for a laundromat that can’t operate legally under Queens zoning rules
✔ Inheriting debts, taxes, or faulty equipment not disclosed upfront
✔ Signing leases with steep increases or difficult transfer terms
✔ Missing critical violations that delay your ability to open

Our mission is to protect Queens laundromat buyers from these hidden dangers—so your investment is as solid as it looks on paper.

FAQs About Buying a Laundromat in Queens

  • How do I start the process of buying a laundromat?

    Start by identifying a laundromat that fits your investment goals. Then, before making an offer or signing any documents, hire a real estate attorney who can guide you through due diligence. At The Price Law Firm, we’ll help you verify the business’s financials, investigate lease details, ensure the operation is legally compliant, and negotiate the deal to protect your interests.

  • What legal issues should I watch for when buying a laundromat?

    Common legal issues include unfavorable lease terms, environmental compliance (especially if solvents or dry-cleaning machines are present), unlicensed operation, equipment liens, and zoning restrictions. We help uncover and resolve these risks before you commit to the purchase.

  • Can I buy a laundromat without buying the building?

    Yes. Most laundromats are sold as businesses, not buildings. You’ll typically be purchasing the assets (like machines and branding) and assuming a commercial lease. However, that lease can make or break your investment. We ensure the lease is assignable, fairly structured, and built to support your long-term goals.

  • How much does it cost to have a lawyer help me buy a laundromat?

    Legal costs vary based on the complexity of the transaction, but considering what’s at stake, hiring a real estate attorney is one of the smartest investments you’ll make. We offer clear guidance up front, and in many cases, we prevent financial losses far greater than our fee. Contact us for a free consultation and quote.

  • What happens after I buy the laundromat?

    Once the deal is closed, you’ll assume control of the business—and that’s where the real opportunity begins. We support clients beyond the transaction by helping with any necessary business formation, licensing updates, and post-sale legal needs. Our goal is not just to help you buy a laundromat, but to ensure you thrive as its owner.

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

I required assistance with what seemed like an impossible landlord-tenant issue. I sought the Price Law Firm for a second opinion...who am I kidding I needed a real responsive attorney, who knew their craft that has emotional intelligence. I hit the jackpot with Heather, she was all of this and more. She successfully resolved my issue in a few weeks; I was dealing with situation for 2 months before I retained her. Please save yourself alot of unnecessary grief and seek the services of the Price Law Firm, you will not regret it!!

Katrina I.

Former Client

I contacted Price law firm in a frenzy to find out more information regarding the housing rights for New York City tenants during coronavirus. They were very responsive, and by responsive I mean answered in one minute. The lawyer spent a lot of time understanding my situation and their opinion about my situation. It's really important when considering hiring a lawyer that they approach you with this much compassion. I highly recommend reaching out to them if your in a similar situation. You won't regret it!

Jordyn C.

Former Client

I have an uncontrolled reoccurring noise Issues in my building where landlord doesn't take any solid actions to solve it. I had a lot of questions asked over a month and Heather went above and beyond to patiently explain and answer every single one. She helped me to send a letter to the management where she found two paragraphs violated on landlords side. I am debating now on going ahead and taking management to court, but if I will - I will definitely hire Heather to represent me. Very recommended.

Rita S.

Former Client

I reached out to this law firm for a tenant concern and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly someone responded. Heather reviewed my case and gave me useful information to help me decide whether to go forward or not. I had spoken to three attorneys before her and none of them gave me advice that I could actually use. If you're seeking a tenant law attorney willing to go above and beyond, search no further.

Dr W.

Former Client

I called this firm and spoke with Heather. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of landlord-tenant law in New York and decided to go with her to review and negotiate a lease with a shady landlord. I'm so glad I did! She was responsive, friendly and helped me out immensely. Highly recommend you go with her and her firm for any issue you may have! They're the best!
