Words used in this report

Area median income (AMI)The middle income for the area, adjusted for household size. A lottery apartment "at 60% AMI" is for households earning up to about 60% of it. The agency's income chart turns each level into dollar limits.
Minimum incomeThe lowest yearly income the listing accepts for an apartment, so the rent is not too large a share of income. Housing Connect does not apply it to households with a voucher or rental subsidy.
Lottery (NYC Housing Connect)Every complete application gets a random log number. The marketing agent works through applications in log-number order within each preference group, so applying early does not help.
Marketing agentThe company the building hires to run its lottery and check applicants' papers.
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
CityFHEPS (New York City)The City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement: a City-funded rent supplement that the Department of Social Services (DSS) pays straight to the landlord.
Payment standard (the CityFHEPS maximum in this report)An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
FMR and SAFMRHUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.

Where the sources differ on the building

Stories10 in the permit, PLUTO, the listing and the Bronx Times. YIMBY wrote "an 11-story residential building" (November 21, 2025).
Architectthe permit names Issac & Stern Architects as applicant. YIMBY and the Bronx Times name ND Architecture & Design.
Market-rate apartmentsthe Bronx Times wrote of 104 units "with 31 being at market rate". HPD's data counts all 104 as middle-income units.
Apartment sizesHPD's data lists all 104 as two-bedrooms. In 2018, YIMBY reported a plan for "studio through four-bedrooms configurations".

What it means: no record found ties W Residence LLC or Bolex GC Corp to Hello Living, so this report names each as its source does.

The 421-a Tax Program the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421a Tax Incentive program". HPD says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."

421-a in HPD's words

Who can use it"The New 421-a Program is available to projects that commence construction between January 1, 2016 and June 15, 2022, and are completed on or before June 15, 2026."

Option C"At least 30% of the units must be affordable at up to 130% of AMI".

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

A voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. But both rents are above the 2026 CityFHEPS two-bedroom maximum of $2,997, by $61 and $369 a month.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD as its agency. The Housing Connect FAQ says: "Minimum income requirements do not apply if you have a voucher or a rental subsidy. However, rent should be within maximum limits allowed by your voucher or rental assistance program."
