About The Role

POAH Communities is seeking a highly qualified professional to serve as a Administrative Assistant to support the property management team. This individual will perform general clerical tasks, help manage the property management office, receive calls, take messages and route correspondence as well as contribute to small-scale projects. The Kenmore Abbey Apartments is a 199-unit senior rental community in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, located steps away from Fenway Park. The historic property was constructed as a hotel in the late 1890s and was converted to its current use in 1984. Kenmore Abbey comprises two brownstone buildings that are architecturally significant and are connected by a footbridge between their second floors. Kenmore Abbey is a 100% senior Section 8 property with a very strong waiting list for occupancy. Kenmore Abbey is one of the six Massachusetts properties acquired by Preservation of Affordable Housing from State Street Development Corporation in the summer of 2012. Kenmore Abbeys proximity to Boston University and Fenway Park made it susceptible to market rate conversion in 2014 when restrictions would have expired. https://www.poah.org/property/massachusetts/kenmore-abbey
