- 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.

- Permit: Department of Buildings job B00683623 reads "PROPOSING NEW 13 STORY BUILDING". It lists 145 feet, 229 dwelling units and 220,045 square feet of floor area.
- Owner and builder: the filing names ASCO Group LLC as owner. The permits name Wyton Developers LLC as general contractor. PLUTO lists 2683 Atlantic LLC as the lot's owner, and the leasing site names Wyton Developers as developer.

What it means: the certificate of occupancy data does not say whether it is temporary or final, so this report calls it the first one.

How the 2016 East New York Rezoning Set the Affordable Share
The 2016 East New York rezoning made this part of Atlantic Avenue a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area. There, part of every large new building must stay affordable for good.
- The rezoningCity Planning's record shows the East New York Neighborhood Plan was filed September 18, 2015 and approved by the City Planning Commission on February 24, 2016. City Council review ended April 20, 2016.
- Mandatory Inclusionary HousingHPD says it "requires a share of new housing in medium- and high-density areas that are rezoned to promote new housing production" to be "permanently affordable".
- The options mapped hereCity Planning's map data lists "Option 1 and Option 3" for this area, adopted April 20, 2016. PLUTO flags lot 38 for both.
- Option 1, in HPD's fact sheet25% of residential floor area at an average of 60% AMI or lower, with "10% of floor area at 40% AMI" and "No income band above 130% AMI".
- Option 3, in HPD's fact sheet20% of residential floor area at an average of 40% AMI or lower.
What it means: the listing does not say which option the building uses, and no document opened says so. HPD measures the affordable share by floor area, not by counting apartments.

Key pointHPD's page says the New 421-a Program "is available to projects that commence construction between January 1, 2016 and June 15, 2022, and are completed on or before June 15, 2026." A 2024 change extended the completion date "to June 15, 2031" for some projects. Here the first foundation permit is dated May 27, 2022, and the first certificate of occupancy September 17, 2026. No document opened says whether the exemption was granted.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches
A voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. The 47 apartments at $1,238 and $1,967 are under the 2026 CityFHEPS two-bedroom maximum. The 11 at $3,789 and $4,518 are over it.
This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD as its 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."

| Two-bedroom, 130% AMI | $4,518 | $2,997 | $2,748 |
What it means: the 110% AMI rent is $792 over the maximum, and the 130% AMI rent $1,521 over.
Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing; maximums from DSS-8r, effective April 1, 2026, which are "the maximum rent amounts if all utilities are included in the lease". The last column subtracts DSS-8r's two-bedroom allowances for "Electric with Cooking Range" ($167) and "Electric Heat Only" ($82), by VoucherMatch's arithmetic.
Watch outthe listing says "Tenants are responsible for electricity, including electric stove and heat. Rent includes hot water." Those are the two allowance lines used above, $249 a month together. The agency decides which lines apply. With them subtracted, the 40% and 60% AMI rents are still $1,510 and $781 under.
- Two peopleDSS-8r pairs one or two people with $2,734. The $1,238 and $1,967 rents fit.
- Three or four people$2,997. The $3,789 and $4,518 rents do not.
- Five peopleDSS-8r pairs five or six people with $3,753. That is $36 under the $3,789 rent. Ask DSS how it treats five people in a two-bedroom.
- Credit checkthe FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
