Community Property Manager

We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and hands-on Property Manager with a "Whatever It Takes" attitude to oversee the daily operations of a 1 residential property in Mount Vernon, NY.

The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who takes full ownership of the property, demonstrates strong leadership skills, and is not afraid to roll up their sleeves to get things done.

This position requires someone who can effectively manage tenants, staff, finances, and maintenance while also being handy and capable of performing minor repairs when needed.

Hands-On Maintenance & Repairs

• Must be mechanically inclined, handy, and comfortable working with basic tools.
• Able and willing to perform minor repairs and maintenance personally when necessary.
• Handle basic tasks such as adjusting doors, replacing locks and hardware, repairing minor fixtures, assembling or installing small items, and general property upkeep.
• Troubleshoot minor maintenance issues before calling outside contractors.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes pride in the property, treats it like their own, and doesn't believe any task is beneath them.

Someone who can manage an office, deal with residents, supervise a team, troubleshoot a maintenance issue, and step in to fix something small rather than automatically calling a contractor.

This is not strictly a desk job. We want a hands-on manager who takes responsibility, follows through, and gets things done.
