Full Property Takeover
A comprehensive onsite engagement for properties experiencing significant compliance and operational challenges.
Altus Property Takeover Services
When a property needs more than advice, we step in.
Onsite Compliance, Operations and Property Stabilization
When compliance is behind, staffing is thin, residents are waiting, files are incomplete, or ownership needs answers fast, Altus can deploy directly onsite.
Our Property Takeover Services combine compliance recovery, onsite operational support, resident engagement, file cleanup, process repair, and property stabilization into one coordinated engagement.
Available for individual properties, portfolios, management transitions, audit preparation, acquisitions, compliance recovery, and high-risk operating situations.
Property Takeover Services are temporary operational and compliance support engagements. Altus does not assume property ownership or legal control of the asset.
We don't just tell you what's wrong. We get in the property and help fix it.
Traditional compliance assessments often end with a report, a list of findings, and another workload for an already overwhelmed property team.
Property Takeover Services are built differently.
Altus works directly inside the operation. Depending on the needs of the property, our team can review and correct tenant files, work with residents, complete overdue certifications, organize documentation, support property management activities, prepare for audits and management reviews, rebuild workflows, assist staff, identify risk, and create a clear path back to stability.
Assessment and execution under one engagement.

The model
The Altus Takeover Method.
Five stages, from the first day onsite through a documented handoff.
Altus enters the engagement, establishes immediate priorities, reviews the property's current condition, and works with leadership to identify what requires urgent attention.
This does not mean legal ownership or management control. It means taking ownership of the recovery work.
What is included
One team. One property. Multiple problems solved.
Review and correct tenant files, certifications, eligibility documentation, verifications, calculation issues, and other compliance deficiencies.
Program depth
Built for complex affordable housing.

Affordable housing problems are rarely isolated.
One missing verification can become a certification problem. A certification backlog can become a resident issue. A staffing issue can become an audit issue.
Altus approaches the property as one connected operation rather than treating every problem separately.
Your property does not need another report telling you it has problems.
It needs experienced people who can help solve them.
Altus Property Takeover Services combine assessment, compliance expertise, resident engagement, onsite execution, operational support, and recovery planning under one engagement.
Onsite
We work inside the operation where the problems are actually happening.

Engagement types
Four ways a takeover is structured.
Compliance Takeover
Focused specifically on tenant files, certifications, compliance deficiencies, resident documentation, audit preparation, and backlog recovery.
Transition Takeover
Temporary onsite support during management changes, property acquisitions, staffing transitions, or operational disruption.
Portfolio Takeover
A coordinated recovery engagement across multiple properties requiring compliance cleanup, process stabilization, or management support.
Every Property Takeover engagement is scoped based on property size, program complexity, current conditions, required staffing, deployment length, and the level of corrective work required.
Engagements may include short-term intensive onsite support, multi-week stabilization projects, or longer assignments for complex properties and portfolios. Every deployment begins with understanding what the property actually needs.
