Compliance Leasing Manager

Compliance Leasing Manager| New York, New York| $85,000 - $95,000 per year | On-site  

EqualAccess is partnering with a nonprofit affordable housing developer and community organization with deep roots in New York City. The portfolio is entirely affordable, comprising Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties and mixed-use buildings with commercial space. This is a compliance-forward organization that takes regulatory accuracy and resident stability seriously.

This role owns the compliance and leasing function for the portfolio. That means keeping tenant files audit-ready, managing the full certification cycle, and leasing vacant units, all against the backdrop of Section 42, NYC Rent Stabilization, and a web of city and state agencies. This is not a generalist property management role. The work is technical, documentation-heavy, and consequential. If LIHTC compliance is not something you already know, this is not the right fit.

What This Role Is, and Is Not

This role is:

• A dedicated LIHTC compliance and leasing position covering a sizable affordable portfolio


• Responsible for the full certification lifecycle, from recertification notices to TIC forms to annual reporting


• The internal point of contact for file audits, syndicator reviews, and subsidy program coordination (Section 8, SCRIE, DRIE)


• A role that requires close, ongoing interaction with residents, agency partners, and funders


• Expected to stay current on regulatory changes and implement them proactively

This role is NOT:

• A stepping stone for someone learning LIHTC from scratch


• A back-office-only position (resident interviews and leasing are part of the job)


• A supervisory or portfolio leadership role


• Primarily focused on financial reporting or asset management strategy
