What Was Built at 11 Gerry Street

11 Gerry Street is a 10-story, 105-foot building with 120 apartments above ground-floor commercial space, on the southern of two blocks that Pfizer sold in 2012.

Size: Department of Buildings job B00509455 is for a "TEN(10) STORY NEW BUILDING", 105 feet tall, with 120 apartments and 163,499 square feet of floor area.
Developer: New York YIMBY, 6sqft and Brownstoner name Rabsky Group. City records name Harrison Realty LLC on the rezoning, Galaxy Developers LLC on the permit and Harrison Plaza LLC on the deed since November 7, 2024.
Architect: the permit applicant is Fariba Makooi, a registered architect at Fischer Makooi Architects.
Program: the listing's description reads "421-a(16) | Inclusionary Housing". Its program line says the building "is being constructed through the Inclusionary Housing Program and is anticipated to receive a Tax Exception through the 421a Tax Incentive Program".
Ground floor: Commercial Observer reported on August 21, 2025 that Popular Bank "has signed a 10-year, 2,290-square-foot lease at 11 Gerry Street".

Watch outone building, several addresses. Housing Connect calls it "11 Gerry Street Apartments", yet the listing's text begins "1 Gerry Street is located in the East Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn." Department of Buildings filings for the lot use 1, 11 and 15 Gerry Street. HPD's data files its "11 GERRY STREET" project under 352 Wallabout Street, a neighboring building. The lot is Brooklyn block 2265, lot 22.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

All 12 rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for the same apartment size, and the closest, the $2,576 two-bedroom, is $421 under.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, with HPD as its agency, so HPD's rule applies. 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."

Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing for lottery 7326; maximums from DSS-8r, effective April 1, 2026, all utilities included.

Watch outthe maximums assume the rent covers all utilities, and here tenants pay for electricity. DSS-8r's 2026 allowance for "Electric with Cooking Range" is $126, $167, $209 and $251 for one to four bedrooms. Taking it off leaves $2,608, $2,830, $3,544 and $3,826, by VoucherMatch's arithmetic, still above every rent in the building.

Your maximum follows your household, not the apartment. DSS-8r gives the one-bedroom amount to one or two people, the two-bedroom amount to three or four, the three-bedroom amount to five or six and the four-bedroom amount to seven or eight. A family of four has $2,997, under the $3,298 four-bedroom rent.
No credit check with a subsidy: the FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
