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.

The 421-a Tax Program the Listing Names

The listing describes "(18) 421a(16) units at 130% AMI". It says the building "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421a Tax incentive program". HPD says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."

421-a(16) rental options in HPD's words

Option A"25% of the units must be affordable: at least 10% at up to 40% of AMI, 10% at up to 60% of AMI, and 5% at up to 130% of AMI".
Option B"30% of the units must be affordable: at least 10% at up to 70% of AMI and 20% at up to 130% of AMI."
Option C"At least 30% of the units must be affordable at up to 130% of AMI". The project "cannot receive any government subsidies".
How longrental projects "choose one of three affordability options and comply with it for the entire benefit period". Those without the enhanced benefit get "A 35-year post-construction tax exemption".

What it means: the listing names no option. No document opened says which one applies or whether the exemption was granted.

Source: HPD's 421-a page, section "421-a (16) Affordable Housing New York Program"; Housing Connect listing.

Zoning: the permit lists "MIH" in its special district field. HPD says Mandatory Inclusionary Housing requires a share of new housing in rezoned areas "to be permanently affordable". The listing names only 421-a; no document opened says whether MIH applies here.
HPD's count: HPD's data lists 18 middle-income units of 59: 3 studios, 11 one-bedrooms and 4 two-bedrooms. That matches the listing.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

A voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. Each rent in the listing today is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its size, by $111 to $170 a month, before any utility allowance.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, run under HPD. 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, October 22, 2026; maximums from DSS-8r, effective April 1, 2026, "if all utilities are included in the lease"; the last column subtracts DSS-8r's "Electric with Cooking Range" allowance ($111, $126 and $167), by VoucherMatch's arithmetic.

Watch outthe listing says "The tenant is responsible for electricity which includes air conditioning and an electric stove. Heat and hot water are included with the rent." That matches DSS-8r's "Electric with Cooking Range" line. DSS decides which allowance applies, so ask DSS or your caseworker before counting on any of these apartments.

Credit check"Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
