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.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the LIHTC Preservation (Year 15) Program of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and is anticipated to receive a 420-C tax incentive."

The programs in HPD's words

Year 15 programHPD says it "ensures the future financial and physical viability and preserves the long-term affordability of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“tax credit”) properties." Help "may include residential real estate tax exemptions, below-market loans".
420-cHPD calls it "a complete or partial tax exemption for low-income housing development with tax credits". The exemption runs "for the term of the regulatory agreement up to a maximum of 60 years."
Project-based vouchersHPD's voucher list says they "require tenants to pay 30% of their income towards rent". It adds that "the Project-Based Voucher subsidy is attached to a designated unit."

What it means: the listing says the 420-c exemption is "anticipated". No page opened says it was granted.

The Supportive Apartments in the Building

HPD's 2024 notice describes the building as "affordable and supportive housing units". It says: "Forty-four (44) units are reserved for formerly homeless individuals and twenty-nine units are reserved for individuals making 60% AMI or less."

How they are filled: no page opened says how the 44 supportive apartments are filled or who refers people to them. They were not in this Housing Connect lottery.
The lottery: it covered 23 studios at 60% AMI.
The developer's count: The Doe Fund lists all 74 as "supportive units".

How many apartments, by record

Department of Buildings74 dwelling units in the 1996 job and in the 2024 to 2026 filings. A 2001 kitchen equipment filing lists 76.
HPD production data74 studios. HPD counts 56 extremely low income, 11 very low income, 4 low income, 2 moderate income and 1 for a superintendent.
HPD's 2024 notice73 units, 44 for formerly homeless individuals and 29 at 60% AMI or less.
The Doe Fund74 supportive units.
Housing Connect23 studios at 60% AMI. The listing's text says "This is Lottery to fill 7 current vacant units".
PLUTO0 residential units and 34,050 square feet. The Doe Fund says 36,000 square feet.

What it means: the records do not agree. HPD defines low income as 51 to 80% AMI and counts 4 such units, while the listing offers 23 at 60% AMI. Ask the Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990.

All 23 rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS studio maximum of $2,604. The gap runs from $933 to $1,281 a month.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Was 223 East 117th Street on NYC Housing Connect?

Yes. The Peter Jay Sharp Residence at 223 East 117th Street was lottery 7522 on NYC Housing Connect. It offered 23 studios at 60% AMI, from $1,323 to $1,671 a month. Applications were due July 23, 2026. As of October 24, 2026, the City's data listed it in "Tenant Selection", and no list was open.

What is the rent at the Peter Jay Sharp Residence?

The 23 lottery studios rent for $1,323 to $1,671 a month. Fourteen of them rent for $1,671. Tenants pay electricity, and the landlord pays heat and hot water. The listing names no amenities and no fees to apply. Each studio takes one or two people.

How much do you have to earn for 223 East 117th Street?

From $49,166 a year for the lowest-rent studio, and from $61,098 for most studios. The top is $71,280 for one person and $81,420 for two. A household above those limits fits no studio. With a voucher, the Housing Connect FAQ says the minimum income does not apply.

Does 223 East 117th Street take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Housing Connect accepts both, but the rent must fit the voucher. Every rent, $1,323 to $1,671, is under the 2026 CityFHEPS studio maximum of $2,604, even after electric allowances. The listing's description mentions NYCHA project-based vouchers, but its rent table does not. Ask the hotline before relying on either.

Is the Peter Jay Sharp Residence supportive housing?

Partly, by HPD's count. HPD's 2024 notice says 44 units "are reserved for formerly homeless individuals" and 29 for people at "60% AMI or less". The Doe Fund calls all 74 "supportive units". The Housing Connect lottery covered 23 studios at 60% AMI. No page opened says how supportive apartments are filled.

Is 223 East 117th Street a new building?

No. It is an existing building that was rehabilitated. The new building job was filed in 1996, and PLUTO gives 1999 as the year built. The listing says the work went through HPD's Year 15 program. HPD's data gives a completion date of December 23, 2025. The work covered interiors, heating and cooling, plumbing and sprinklers.

Are the rents at 223 East 117th Street below market?

Yes, by HUD's figure. HUD's 2027 studio figure for ZIP code 10035 is $2,350 a month. The lottery rents are $679 to $1,027 under it. HUD's figure includes most utilities, and tenants here pay electricity, so the real gap is a little smaller.
