Stephanie Cardello to VP of Compliance
In a press release, property management
firm FirstService Residential announced its
recent promotion of Stephanie Cardello to
vice president of compliance. In her new
position, Cardello will be responsible for
the company’s Compliance Department,
Transitions Department, and internal edu-
cation programs for property managers.
The release notes that the promotion
comes as FirstService expands its Compli-
ance Department in an effort to keep board
members, building owners, and residents
of the company’s managed properties edu-
cated and prepared to comply with new
and evolving local laws, inspection sched-
ules, reports, and filing deadlines required
by multifamily properties in New York City.
Cardello, who joined FirstService in
