About the Role: We are seeking an organized, detail-oriented Administrative Assistant with property management experience to support recertification and compliance efforts for a premier residential community. This role goes beyond general administrative support—the ideal candidate has hands-on experience with affordable housing compliance documentation and can help build and maintain accurate recertification files under the property manager's direction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in building, organizing, and maintaining tenant recertification files.
• Support compliance documentation in line with affordable housing and property management standards.
• Track recertification deadlines and ensure required documentation is collected on time.
• Partner closely with the Property Manager to ensure file accuracy and completeness.
• Greet and assist walk-in visitors, residents, and prospective tenants.
• Answer, screen, and route incoming phone calls.
• Serve as a welcoming, professional first point of contact for the property.
• Organize and maintain both physical and digital filing systems.
• Perform accurate, timely data entry into management software.
• Complete internal forms and documentation.
• Support general office and clerical duties as needed.
• Respond to and address daily questions and requests from tenants.
• Direct tenant inquiries to the appropriate staff or department when necessary.

Qualifications:

• Prior property management experience required, specifically with tenant recertification or affordable housing compliance documentation.
• Familiarity with recertification file requirements (income verification, HUD/LIHTC required forms, documentation deadlines, etc.).
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
• Comfortable working in a front-facing, high-interaction environment.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus, but not required.
