Kevin S. Wiley
Co-Founder & President
Kevin Wiley, co-founder and President of CitiScape Property
Management Group, began his property management career
in 1978. He worked primarily with real estate developers
in the acquisition of apartment buildings and in supervising
the physical and legal conversion from apartments to
condominiums.
He was appointed to the Condominium Conversion Commissions
Task Force for the City of Oakland to study the problems
relating to condominium conversion, and to study and
prepare long range planning guidelines. Kevin was a
frequent consultant to the Oakland Planning Commission
and other local governmental agencies on the rising
urban housing dilemma and other concerns facing the
real estate community and city planners.
Kevin moved on to association management in 1981 and
has since managed a vast portfolio of condominium associations
and stock cooperative apartments in San Francisco for
the past 27 years. He has an excellent track record
in managing associations during the often-difficult
developer transition, through the planning and implementation
of large-scale retrofitting projects, defect investigation,
litigation and reconstruction. Kevin is presently an
active member and topical speaker on the ECHO Resource
Panel, and has been published in several trade journals
with articles on a variety of management and Board
member issues.
Kevin has built strong and long-standing business relationships
with top industry professionals who serve community
associations, and he brings the benefits of those relationships
to the associations he manages.
Kevin is a native San Franciscan, growing up in the
Haight-Ashbury neighborhood (now THAT explains a lot!),
and is a U.S. Navy veteran, having served in the elite
submarine service. Kevin’s fifteen minutes of fame may
have been the fact that he was the Grateful Dead’s newspaper
boy in the late ‘60s.
