Property Manager

Property Manager Yonkers, NY $72,000–$80,000 / year OVERVIEWA 105-unit affordable housing community is moving from construction into its initial lease-up, and we’re looking for a Property Manager to lead that process from the ground floor. You’ll run marketing, compliance, and lottery administration during pre-lease, then carry the property through stabilization once residents start moving in. This is a rare shot at owning a lease-up from day one, with a clear path to a Regional Manager role once the property is stable. WHAT YOU’LL DO Own the initial lease-up process from marketing launch through full stabilization Administer the affordable housing lottery, including applicant intake, waitlist management, and eligibility review Manage income certification and recertification for LIHTC (4%, <60% AMI) and Project-Based Section 8 compliance Build and execute the marketing plan that drives qualified applicant traffic during pre-lease Track the property’s timeline against the expected Certificate of Occupancy and adjust leasing pace accordingly Handle day-to-day operations in Yardi Breeze, from applicant files to rent collections Manage rent collections and, when necessary, the eviction process in line with fair housing and program requirements Coordinate with ownership and compliance staff to keep resident files audit-ready from day one Start out working from the corporate office during pre-lease, transitioning on-site as lease-up progresses WHY YOU MATTERGetting a new affordable development leased up correctly the first time — clean files, compliant certifications, a waitlist that holds up to audit — sets the tone for the property’s entire life. You’re the person making sure that happens. WHAT IT TAKES 3-5+ years of property management experience in affordable housing Direct experience with LIHTC (4%) and Project-Based Section 8 compliance Hands-on experience managing an initial lease-up or lottery process, not just stabilized-property operations Comfort with income certification, recertification, and audit-ready file management Working knowledge of Yardi Breeze or a comparable property management system Experience handling collections and the eviction process within affordable housing program rules Familiarity with supportive housing programs (ESSHI or similar) is a plus Strong organizational skills — juggling marketing, compliance, and construction timelines at once Clear, professional communication with applicants, residents, and ownership alike THE PERKS! $72,000–$80,000 base salary 15 days PTO plus holidays A defined path to Regional Manager, overseeing four existing properties plus a 149-unit development breaking ground in 2028 Ground-floor ownership of a brand-new affordable housing community #J-18808-Ljbffr
