Asset & Project Oversight: Lead capital improvement projects and apartment renovations. Negotiate and manage all service contracts (HVAC, cleaning, critical systems) to ensure vendor performance. Staff Leadership: Direct and mentor on-site teams, including Resident Managers, office staff, and leasing representatives. Set clear performance goals and manage the commissions process. Compliance & Audit: Ensure the property is 100% compliant with NYC rental market legal requirements and passes all audits, reviews, and municipal inspections. Stakeholder Relations: Maintain transparent and timely communication with owners, asset managers, and business partners to ensure total client satisfaction. Required Qualifications Experience: Minimum of 5 years of residential property management experience in NYC, specifically with rent-regulated/LIHTC units. Sector Expertise: Proven track record managing high-end, luxury residential properties and a deep understanding of building operations/maintenance. Licensing: Current NY Real Estate License (or the ability to obtain one within 90 days of hire). Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Real Estate, Finance, or a related field. Technical Skills: Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel/Outlook) and experience with Revenue Management programs.
