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.

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.
Utility allowanceThe agency's estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.

What "Modified Lottery" Means on Housing Connect

The listing describes the lottery only as "Modified lottery." No Housing Connect or HPD page opened defines that phrase.

The term in the official sources

In the FAQno answer uses the term.
In HPD's handbook"“Modified marketing” may have a shorter advertising period, no less than 21 days." Standard marketing is for "20 or more available units, except as otherwise approved by HPD or HDC."
Programthe listing names no tax or financing program. HPD's production record names none either.
Whom to askthe Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990, or nychousingconnect@hpd.nyc.gov.

What it means: the handbook defines "modified marketing," not "modified lottery." No published page says what the word changes for applicants here.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 18-25 Cornaga Avenue?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and a voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. Every rent is under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for its size: the one-bedrooms by $468, and the two-bedrooms by $301 and $249. The listing does not yet say which utilities the rents include.

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."
