This word consists of 'Haus' (house) and 'Verwaltung' (administration/management). So it literally describes the administration or management of a house.

administration / management
'die Verwaltung' and 'die Hausverwaltung' both have to do with organization and administrative tasks. 'Verwaltung' is the general word and can be used in companies, schools, government offices, or other institutions. 'Hausverwaltung' is much more specific: it looks after a building, for example repairs, service charges, and contact with tenants. They can be confused because 'Hausverwaltung' is also a kind of 'Verwaltung'. When it is about an apartment building or rental building, 'Hausverwaltung' is more precise. In other organizations, people usually simply say 'Verwaltung'.
