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.
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.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

Every rent in the lottery is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its apartment size. That holds even after the utility allowances that match the listing are taken off.

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."

Does 1451 Sutter Avenue take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Housing Connect accepts both, and every lottery rent is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its size. The closest is the $2,419 two-bedroom. It is $578 under the $2,997 maximum, or $273 under once the matching utility allowances are taken off. Ask DSS or the housing authority before you rely on it.

Is 1451 Sutter Avenue a 485-x or a 421-a building?

The listing names both, and no record opened settles it. Its description reads "485-x - 17 units at 80% AMI". Its program line says the building is anticipated to receive a tax exemption "through the 421a Tax incentive program". HPD's production data lists the project but not the program. The Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990, can confirm.

Are the rents at 1451 Sutter Avenue below market?

Yes, by HUD's figure. HUD's fiscal year 2027 figures for ZIP code 11208 are $2,430 for a studio, $2,560 for a one-bedroom and $2,790 for a two-bedroom. Each lottery rent is $371 to $468 below them. HUD's figure includes most utilities, and these rents do not include electricity.
