About us Brookwood Apartment Homes owns and operates seven quiet, well-kept garden-apartment communities in Suffolk County on Long Island, NY, and has done so for about 40 years. We are looking for a conscientious, experienced Senior Property Manager to oversee our communities in Ridge, NY and nearby towns (one community, in Ronkonkoma, is a seniors property). This is a strong fit for someone already working in property management who wants to step up to a role with better pay, strong benefits, and a supportive team. We value people who take pride in their work and treat residents and colleagues with respect. The pace is steady rather than frantic — you will stay busy, though many responsibilities are periodic — and we work as a collaborative team.

Responsibilities Conducts weekly visits to each community to evaluate compliance with community policies on parking, curb appeal, pets, and property maintenance, proactively creating work orders in the online app. Investigates, documents, and resolves resident complaints and issues. Supervises Maintenance Technicians, including participating in their hiring, onboarding, training, and performance management. Serves as the on-site liaison during agency inspections. Helps develop the labor and operating budgets and monitors labor and operating costs to ensure compliance with budget. Monitors open work orders and unit turns to ensure productivity and efficiency, maintaining close contact with maintenance staff and ensuring work orders are completed on time. Works to ensure that all policies, rules, and procedures are followed by residents, visitors, vendors, and employees. Prepares and sends resident correspondence as needed and drafts tenant and employee memos. Coordinates with vendors at the properties as required. Conducts unit and property inspections related to unit-turn completion using an inspection app, and periodically reviews other inspections for quality control. Manages the unit-turn process to minimize apartment downtime and vacancy, and proactively schedules staff so that apartments are ready for occupancy when needed. Works closely as a team with the rental and office staff. Is willing and able to complete a work order directly when necessary or expedient. Is available to respond to occasional urgent problems at night or on weekends (infrequent). Mentors and supports colleagues as needed. Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree preferred. Minimum of 5 years of related management experience in multifamily property management required. Demonstrated leadership and the ability to delegate and prioritize tasks. Strong self-organization and time-management skills.
