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.
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.
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.
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 standardAn 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.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 139 Beach 29th Street?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and a voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. The $2,713 rent is $284 under the 2026 CityFHEPS two-bedroom maximum. The listing does not say which utilities the rent includes.

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."

Watch outthe maximums assume the rent covers all utilities. The listing does not say which utilities are included. A voucher program subtracts a utility allowance when tenants pay. This report subtracts none, because the listing names no utility.

Credit check: the FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
Section 8: the FAQ names "Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HPD or NYCHA)" among accepted subsidies. See the New York City Housing Authority page and the 2026 payment standards.

DOB records those addresses as 210 and 224 Beach 28 Street, on block 15803. No owner, architect or lender name appears in both their records and this building's. City Planning's file names one related project, across Beach 30th Street. HPD's data has no record for any of the three.

No opening date is published. A household can finish its Housing Connect profile now and watch the listing.

What is the rent at 139 Beach 29th Street?

The rent is $2,713 a month for each of the 15 two-bedrooms. All of them are at 80% AMI. That is the listing's rent as read on October 18, 2026. The listing does not say which utilities the rent includes, so the full monthly cost may be higher.

How much do you have to earn for 139 Beach 29th Street?

Without a voucher, at least $101,863 a year. The most is $108,560 for two people and $146,560 for five. One person cannot apply, since the smallest household allowed is two. With a voucher or rental subsidy, the Housing Connect FAQ says the minimum income does not apply.

Does 139 Beach 29th Street take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Yes. The Housing Connect FAQ accepts Section 8 and CityFHEPS, and minimum income does not apply with a voucher. The $2,713 rent is $284 under the 2026 CityFHEPS two-bedroom maximum of $2,997. The FAQ says the rent should be within your program's limits. Ask DSS about two-person households.

Is 139 Beach 29th Street the same as 1-39 Beach 29th Street?

Yes. Housing Connect writes the address as 1-39 Beach 29th St. The Department of Buildings, City Planning and the certificate of occupancy use 139 Beach 29 Street. PLUTO and a 2026 deed list the same lot, Queens block 15821, lot 50, as 137 Beach 29 Street.

Is 139 Beach 29th Street part of the Beach 28th Street lotteries?

Not by the records opened. Lotteries 7688 and 7712, at 2-10 and 2-24 Beach 28th Street, are separate listings on another block. Their building permits and property records name a different owner, architect and lender. No record opened ties the three into one project. Each listing has its own rules.

Are the rents at 139 Beach 29th Street below market?

Yes, compared with HUD's figure. The $2,713 rent is $297 below HUD's fiscal year 2027 fair market rent of $3,010 for a two-bedroom in ZIP code 11691. HUD's figure includes utilities. The listing does not say which utilities its rent includes, so the real gap may be smaller.
