Job Description

General Manager
Yonkers, NY
$90,000 – $110,000 / year

OVERVIEW
A well-established affordable housing portfolio in Yonkers is looking for a General Manager to take full ownership of a 300+ unit property's day-to-day operations and regulatory compliance. This is a hands-on leadership seat — you'll run the budget, the team, and the books, and you'll be the one agencies and residents come to when something needs an answer.

This property runs on LIHTC, HUD Project-Based Section 8, tenant-based vouchers, and DHCR rent stabilization, so the ideal person already knows how those pieces fit together and isn't learning compliance on the job.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the property's financial performance — budget prep, monthly reporting, and keeping the numbers on track
• Run rent collections, including arrears tracking, payment plans, and non-payment/holdover proceedings when they're needed
• Keep the property audit-ready for HUD and LIHTC compliance, including REAC, MOR, ENSPIRE, and HQS inspections and file reviews
• Manage DHCR rent stabilization registrations and the annual statutory filings (lead-based paint, window guards, energy grades)
• Work daily in Yardi Voyager and RealPage to track occupancy, compliance, and financials
• Supervise and develop the on-site team, including the property manager, assistant property manager, and resident services staff
• Handle resident relations and step in before issues become bigger problems
• Build and maintain relationships with the agencies, inspectors, and vendors this property depends on
• Work alongside counsel on legal proceedings tied to non-payment or holdover cases

WHY YOU MATTER
Affordable housing only works when someone's actually running it well. This role is that person — keeping residents housed, keeping the paperwork clean with every agency that has a say, and keeping the property financially sound. A few hundred families are counting on this property being run right.

WHAT IT TAKES

• 5+ years of supervisory-level property management experience in affordable housing
• Deep working knowledge of HUD Project-Based Section 8, LIHTC, and DHCR rent stabilization rules
• Direct experience with REAC, MOR, ENSPIRE, and HQS inspections and file reviews
• Comfort with non-payment and holdover proceedings, including working with attorneys when a case needs to go further
• Proficiency in Yardi Voyager and/or RealPage
• Strong budget and financial reporting skills — comfortable owning a P&L, not just reading one
• Certified Occupancy Specialist (COS) or a similar compliance certification preferred
• Bachelor's degree preferred
• Bilingual Spanish/English is a plus

THE PERKS!

• $90,000–$110,000 per year, based on experience
• Medical (EPO & PPO), dental (PPO & DMO), and vision coverage
• 100% employer-paid life and AD&D insurance ($50,000–$100,000 depending on role)
• Flexible Spending Account — up to $3,300 pre-tax annually for medical expenses
• Commuter Spending Account for pre-tax commuting costs
• Wellness perks through UHC Care Cash and the Oxford Sweat Equity program
• Dedicated benefits support through the USI Benefit Resource Center
