About The Position

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) oversees housing standards across New York City and works to build and preserve affordable housing, protect tenants, and hold landlords accountable. The Office of Enforcement and Neighborhood Services works with HPD divisions and community partners to identify distressed buildings, assess their needs, develop strategies, and help restore properties to physical and financial health. Its Emergency Operations and Enhanced Enforcement Division (EOD) includes the Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP), which identifies the 250 most distressed multiple dwellings citywide each year. AEP can arrange repairs and bill landlords when owners fail to act, helping residents avoid prolonged exposure to unsafe conditions. The Construction Project Manager (CPM) L-3/Supervisor oversees AEP construction work performed by HPD contractors and supervises and trains construction project managers. The role reviews building-wide inspections, system-replacement recommendations, repair scopes, construction plans, contractor payment requisitions, and change orders. It directs inspections and monitors work for compliance with plans, specifications, laws, regulations, schedules, and quality requirements. The position also supports AEP reporting and analysis, ensures emergency repair violations are corrected promptly, coordinates with City agencies on filings and permits, and participates in tenant-landlord meetings. The role includes fieldwork at occupied buildings and properties undergoing construction or rehabilitation in any of New York City's five boroughs. It may involve hazardous-material assessment using XRF equipment, review of laboratory reports, and dust-wipe sampling for clearance and re-occupancy. Employees supervising asbestos removal or lead abatement must use required protective clothing and respiratory protection and meet applicable regulatory and medical requirements. Candidates may be trained by the Agency as an EPA Certified Lead Inspector within four months of employment. Work may be scheduled for late evenings, weekends, and/or a flexible schedule.
