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.
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.

The Program the First Listing Names

The 2025 listing says the building "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421a-16 Tax Incentive Program". The new listing has no advertisement text yet.

421-a(16) in HPD's words

421-a"The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."
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". HPD lists other options too.
Shared spacesthe affordable units "must share the same common entrances and common areas as the market rate units".

What it means: neither listing names an option. No document opened says which applies or that the exemption was granted.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

No rent in either lottery fits under its 2026 CityFHEPS maximum. The new $3,195 two-bedrooms are $198 over the $2,997 two-bedroom maximum, before utility allowances.

These are city lotteries on NYC Housing Connect. The first listing names HPD as the 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."

Housing Connect accepts vouchers, but the rent must fit the voucher. The $3,195 two-bedrooms are $198 over the 2026 CityFHEPS two-bedroom maximum of $2,997, and the gap grows to $503 after utility allowances. NYCHA and HPD set their own Section 8 limits, so ask your agency first.
