The APM comprises five divisions, including Asset Management, Property Management & Client Services, Housing Supervision, and Co-op Readiness & Technical Services.
The Tax Credit and Home Compliance unit oversees housing projects developed or preserved over the last two decades, funded through federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and/or HOME. This involves rigorous regulatory requirements and monitoring of compliance to ensure adherence to these regulations. The team conducts annual reviews of rent-rolls, site visits for tenant file audits, and collaborates with Code Enforcement to assess apartment conditions and address any non-compliance issues from previous years.
Your Impact:
As a System Administrator/Data Analyst in the Tax Credit and HOME Compliance Unit, you will play a crucial role in supporting analysts and supervisors in overseeing regulatory compliance for a portfolio of properties that have received tax credits and/or HOME assistance from HPD. Your responsibilities will include assisting with the Annual Owner Certification (AOC) process for income and rent monitoring, as well as Housing Quality Standards (HQS) assessments. You will also manage the Access database that tracks all projects under the Unit's purview and serve as the primary contact for property owners and managers submitting rent rolls through HPD’s e-Rent Roll portal.
Your Role:
Under general supervision, you will engage directly with property owners and managers, along with internal and external partners, to request and review compliance submissions. You will maintain the database for tracking non-compliance issues, and assist owners and managers with their e-Rent Roll submissions. Additionally, you will monitor the Access database for optimal performance and manage backups.
