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 amount 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.

Standard marketing"20 or more available units, except as otherwise approved by HPD or HDC". It has a 60-calendar-day advertising period.
Modified marketingit "may have a shorter advertising period, no less than 21 days".
In the FAQno answer uses either term.
Whom to askthe Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990, or nychousingconnect@hpd.nyc.gov.

Key pointthe listing does not yet say who pays for heat, hot water, cooking gas or electricity. Ask the marketing agent before you compare these rents with others.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 1305 Rockaway Parkway?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts both, and voucher holders do not have to meet the minimum income. Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS amount for their size: by $536 for a one-bedroom and $455 for a two-bedroom.

The 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." This is a lottery listing on NYC Housing Connect, the City's site. The FAQ says HPD and the City's technology department maintain it.

What HPD's rules say about vouchers and rent

Considered if the amount covers the rentvoucher holders "must be considered provided that the subsidy’s payment standard, net of any utility allowances, meets the advertised rent for the unit."
A cap on the rent askedthe handbook says "the rent amount requested cannot exceed the lesser of the payment standard for (i) the unit size payment standard or (ii) household size payment standard".

What it means: once the listing names who pays utilities, DSS may take an allowance off these amounts. One person with CityFHEPS should ask HPD's hotline which line applies.

What does "Modified standard" mean on the 1305 Rockaway Parkway listing?

No Housing Connect or HPD page opened defines it. HPD's Marketing Handbook has two terms. "Standard marketing" has a 60-day ad period. "Modified marketing" "may have a shorter advertising period, no less than 21 days". The listing joins the two words. Ask the Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990, what it means here.
