125 Chrystie Street, Lower East Side: 11 Apartments on Housing Connect, From $1,517 a Month

Published October 30, 202624 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answer125 Chrystie Street is a new 12-story building with 55 apartments on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. NYC Housing Connect listed 11 of them, at 60% and 100% AMI, from $1,517 to $3,159 a month. Applications were due September 2, 2026. As of October 24, 2026, the City's data lists the lottery in "Tenant Selection". The 60% AMI rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums. Before utility allowances, the 100% AMI studio and one-bedroom rents are just under, and the two-bedroom is over.

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.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.
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.
Utility allowanceThe agency's estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
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.

Applications were due September 2, 2026. As of October 24, 2026, the City's data listed it in "Tenant Selection", and no list was open.

What is the rent at 125 Chrystie Street?

Does 125 Chrystie Street take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Housing Connect accepts both, but the rent must fit the voucher. All six 60% AMI rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums, even after electric allowances. The $3,159 two-bedroom is over its $2,997 maximum. The 100% AMI studio and one-bedrooms are under only before allowances. Ask DSS or your agency first.

Is 125 Chrystie Street the same as 324 Broome Street?

They are records for the same lot. PLUTO lists Manhattan block 424, lot 35, under 324 Broome Street. The Department of Buildings, HPD and Housing Connect use 125 Chrystie Street for the building there. The developer's narrative calls it "125 Chrystie Street, cornering Broome Street". YIMBY places it at Chrystie and Broome Streets.

Is 125 Chrystie Street a new building?

Yes. It is new construction on a lot where a two-story building was taken down under a 2023 permit. The new building job was approved in 2024. The first certificate of occupancy came on July 30, 2026, for 55 units. It is 12 stories, with space for stores on the ground floor.

Are the rents at 125 Chrystie Street below market?

Partly, by HUD's figure. The six 60% AMI rents are $763 to $875 under HUD's 2027 figures for ZIP code 10002. The five 100% AMI rents are $292 to $539 above them. HUD's figure includes most utilities, and tenants here pay electricity, so the real cost is a little higher.
