Coordinating teams to meet quality standards and ensure timely repairs is essential, reflecting a complex role that demands regional adaptability and strong leadership to handle diverse building systems.
Career growth often involves mastering multifamily residential maintenance management, expanding skills in vendor coordination, and gaining expertise in compliance with NYC housing regulations. Developing strong communication and leadership abilities can lead to higher managerial roles or specialized facilities management positions.
Proficiency in managing plumbing, heating, roofing, and electrical systems is vital, combined with knowledge of low-income housing tax credit properties. Familiarity with NYC municipal violations and experience working with special needs populations enhance effectiveness in this supervisory capacity.
Navigating the intersection of property upkeep and social services is key, requiring collaboration with program directors and social workers. Balancing timely maintenance with supportive housing missions demands strong organizational skills and sensitivity to resident needs.
The company values respect, integrity, and continuous improvement, expecting supervisors to embody professionalism while supporting vulnerable residents. This role uniquely combines technical supervision with a commitment to supportive housing, fostering community wellbeing alongside maintenance excellence.
Compensation typically ranges from $45,000 to $50,000 annually, reflecting the supervisory responsibilities over multiple residential properties in NYC. This range aligns with local market standards for maintenance supervisory roles in affordable housing sectors.
