About the Agency:

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) oversees housing standards across all 3.7 million homes in New York City.

As the nation’s largest municipal housing agency, HPD is responsible for building and preserving affordable housing, protecting tenants from harassment and displacement, and holding landlords accountable across the five boroughs. Under Commissioner Dina Levy and the Mamdani Administration, HPD is pursuing an ambitious housing agenda focused on the needs of New York’s tenants. With a broad set of tools including standards enforcement, tenant resources, and the creation of new affordable housing, HPD is committed to making New York City a more affordable place for renters and homeowners alike

Your Team:

The Office of Asset and Property Management (APM) leads the agency’s effort to protect the City’s investment in affordable housing and ensure that properties remain stable and affordable over the long-term. APM actively monitors the performance and regulatory compliance of projects sponsored, supervised, and owned by the City, and connects people to affordable housing opportunities.

APM is composed of three divisions: Asset Management, Property Management, and Housing Supervision.
The Division of Asset Management safeguards the longevity and affordability of HPD’s housing portfolio by identifying at-risk buildings, stabilizing distressed assets, and ensuring compliance with regulatory agreements. The Division monitors both the physical and financial condition of properties, collaborates with owners and partners, and works closely with HPD’s Office of Development to reposition projects through financial assistance, property management changes, restructuring, or ownership transfers. Its core programs are outlined below.
