Job Description
The Property Division is seeking entry-level City
Assessors to work on valuation teams to physically
examine and assess (using the three approaches to value
real property: income, cost, sales).
Assessors are required to conduct field inspections in
the boroughs to collect data on each parcel assigned to
them, including new buildings, alterations, demolitions,
and map changes. Assessors analyze income and expense
data, leases, and construction costs along with
interpreting maps, surveys, building plans, drawings,
and photographs to determine the value.
Assignments may be in any of the Property Division’s
offices located in the five boroughs.
NOTE:
These positions require extensive field work and travel
within the five boroughs of
New York City,
via public transportation. Assessors are required to
visit property sites that may have irregular topography
and to work outdoors in adverse weather conditions.
These positions routinely involve walking and standing
for long periods, as well as reaching, bending, going up
and down steps, and carrying work-related materials.
