2-10 and 2-24 Beach 28th Street in Far Rockaway: 27 Affordable Apartments in Two Housing Connect Lotteries, From $1,812 a Month

Published October 19, 202622 min readBy VoucherMatch Editorial Team

Quick answerAs of October 18, 2026, NYC Housing Connect lists two lotteries for one project on Beach 28th Street in Far Rockaway, Queens. Lottery 7688, 2-10 Beach 28th Street, has 15 apartments: studios at $1,812 a month, one-bedrooms at $2,283 and two-bedrooms at $2,713. Lottery 7712, 2-24 Beach 28th Street, has 12 two-bedrooms at $2,713. All are at 80% AMI. Neither lottery is open, and neither has a deadline. With a voucher, the minimum income does not apply.

Last checked: October 18, 2026, against the Housing Connect listings for lottery 7688 and lottery 7712, each read twice that day, and Housing Connect's open-lottery search, which listed neither either time; the Housing Connect FAQ; HPD's 485-x page and guide Applying for Affordable Housing; CityFHEPS form DSS-8r (dated October 14, 2026); Department of Buildings filings (jobs Q01261212 and Q01261189), permits, older job records and certificates of occupancy (DOB NOW and older); HPD's Affordable Housing Production by Building data; PLUTO; ACRIS records for Queens blocks 15803 and 15821; City Planning's GeoSearch; HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents; the MTA's subway and rail station data; and QNS's permit report of May 13, 2026.

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.
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.

What Is Being Built at 2-10 and 2-24 Beach 28th Street

Two 6-story buildings are going up on side-by-side lots, with 73 and 60 apartments in the Department of Buildings' records. City records tie them to one owner, one architect and one set of loans.

What it means: no certificate of occupancy was in the City's data for either building through October 17, 2026.

Source: Department of Buildings jobs, both filed July 30, 2025, and permit records. Both name Walton Developers as owner and Kao Hwa Lee Architects PC as applicant.

One project in the records: the 2-10 filing asks for "the same examiner as job #Q01261189-I1 as this is adjacent zoning lot with same owner and applicant." One sidewalk plan was filed for both jobs.
Two listings: Housing Connect treats them as separate lotteries, 7688 and 7712, with separate mail addresses.
Program: lottery 7688 says "485X program: The project consists of one building with 73 units, of which 15 will be offered in this lottery at 80% AMI." Lottery 7712's description reads only "485x."
Not linked: 139 Beach 29th Street, lottery 7657 nearby, has a different owner, architect and lender in DOB and ACRIS records.

What 485-x Means Here

485-x is a property tax break for new buildings that set aside affordable apartments. HPD runs it in the city; no record opened names which version applies here.

485-x in HPD's words

What it isHPD says the law provides "a real property tax exemption for the construction of new Multiple Dwellings."
How long rents stay low"All Affordable Housing Units will be permanently affordable."
Same doorsthe apartments "must share the same common entrances and common areas as the market rate units."
OptionsHPD lists several rental options, set by building size and place. No record opened names the option chosen.

Three people under $84,858nothing fits without a voucher.

Over the maximum for your sizenothing fits. The cut-off is $146,560 for five people.

The FAQ says minimum incomes exist "To ensure that households are not paying more than one third of their incomes in rent." Neither listing says how its figures were set.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 2-10 and 2-24 Beach 28th Street?

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: the studios by $792, the one-bedrooms by $451 and the two-bedrooms at both addresses by $284. Neither listing says 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."
