Our company is dedicated to maintaining high standards in residential living environments, focusing on safety, cleanliness, and community well-being.

Our commitment to excellence positions us as a trusted name in the real estate and affordable housing market, where we strive to create comfortable, safe, and inviting homes for all our residents.

The Porter position plays a crucial role within our facility management team, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the residential complexes we oversee. Reporting directly to the superintendent or handyman as needed, the Porter is responsible for maintaining a healthy and pleasant environment for both residents and employees. This role is hands-on and physically engaging, requiring a proactive attitude toward daily maintenance and cleaning duties. The ideal candidate is highly motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of performing a variety of tasks aimed at enhancing the quality of life for all building occupants.

Specifically, the Porter’s responsibilities range from routine cleaning to more complex maintenance tasks. These include sweeping, mopping, and deep cleaning stairwells and lobbies; maintaining the appearance and hygiene of walls, doors, and stainless-steel surfaces; thoroughly cleaning elevators; and ensuring that all exterior areas adjacent to assigned buildings are free of litter and debris. The Porter will also be charged with removing building trash daily, managing computer chutes and compactor rooms, and cleaning garbage containers immediately after trash collection. The role demands flexibility, as the Porter must set out and store floor runners as necessary and perform snow removal tasks when conditions require it, including spreading rock salt to prevent slip hazards.

In addition to cleaning and maintenance, the Porter plays an important part in the building’s environmental efforts by administering the recycling program in accordance with New York City Recycling Program guidelines. Safety is an overarching priority, so the Porter is expected to promptly report any property deficiencies or hazardous conditions encountered during their routines that may pose risks to tenants or staff. Due to the physical nature of the job, candidates must be comfortable with frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, and lifting up to 50 pounds.

The position is characterized by mobility and requires availability to work various shifts, including evenings and weekends. Our goal is to offer residents a high standard of living through thorough attention to cleanliness and maintenance, and the Porter is fundamental to achieving this goal. This position not only supports the operational functions of the property but also helps to foster a safe and welcoming atmosphere that residents can be proud to call home.
