Rents were $1,793 to $4,376 a month, at 70%, 80% and 130% AMI. Applications were due June 15, 2026. The 11 apartments at 70% and 80% AMI are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximums.

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.

What Was Built at 170 Freeman Street

170 Freeman Street is a new eight-story building with 67 apartments and a ground-floor shop space, on City records. It replaced a three-story commercial building.

Names: Housing Connect calls the lottery "170 Freeman Street Apartments". HPD's data calls the project "170 FREEMAN STREET (F/K/A 1032-1036 MANHATTAN AVENUE)". PLUTO, the City's lot data, lists the lot under 1036 Manhattan Avenue.
Permit: job 321598277 is a new building filing for eight stories, 84 feet and 67 apartments. It lists 58,090 square feet of construction floor area.
Owner: the permit, PLUTO and ACRIS name 170 Freeman LLC.
Architect: YIMBY's 2026 report says "Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects". The permit's applicant is a registered architect; the record names no firm.
Developer: YIMBY says the building was "developed by ASH NYC". Dwight Capital's release names the borrowers as being "of Green Street Group Managers LLC".
Old building: a 2020 demolition job removed a three-story commercial building at 1036 Manhattan Avenue. It was signed off December 23, 2020.
Sign-off: the first certificate of occupancy, marked "Initial", was issued November 25, 2025 for 67 apartments. The latest, a "Renewal Without Change", is dated September 29, 2026.

Where the sources differ on the building

Heightthe permit says 84 feet. YIMBY's 2020 report said "83-foot-tall".
Floor areathe permit lists 58,090 square feet, and PLUTO lists 55,716. YIMBY's 2020 report said the building "will yield 56,408 square feet".
Shop spacePLUTO lists 610 square feet of retail. YIMBY's 2020 report said "767 square feet for commercial space".
Year builtPLUTO says 2024. The first certificate of occupancy is dated November 25, 2025.
Apartment mixDwight's release gives the whole building as "12 studios, 40 one-bedrooms, and 15 two-bedrooms". The lottery held three studios, 13 one-bedrooms and five two-bedrooms of those.

What it means: the 67-apartment count is the same on every record opened, but the height and floor area figures are not.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Inclusionary Housing Program". It adds that it "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421-a Program".

The two programs, in HPD's own words

Inclusionary HousingHPD says the program "is designed to promote and preserve affordable housing where zoning has been modified to encourage new development."
421-aHPD's 421-a page says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."
The listing's terms"7 units at 70% at AMI, 4 Units at 80%, and 10 units at 130% AMI".
The lender's wordsDwight's release says "The project is eligible for a 35-year 421-a tax abatement."
Not statedthe listing does not say which part of the Inclusionary Housing Program applies, or which version of 421-a.

What it means: no record opened names the program option, so this report does not guess it.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

The four rents at 70% and 80% AMI are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size. The three rents at 130% AMI are over it.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD as its agency.

However, rent should be within maximum limits allowed by your voucher or rental assistance program."

The DSS-8r lines for that are "Electric with Cooking Range" ($111, $126 and $167) and "Electric Heat Only" ($52, $62 and $82). With both taken off, the maximums are $2,441, $2,546 and $2,748, by VoucherMatch's arithmetic. The 80% two-bedroom, at $2,629, stays $119 under. DSS decides which lines apply.

Utilities: HUD's figure includes them. Here tenants pay electricity, including the stove and heat, so each apartment costs more than the rent once bills are added.
