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.

282 4th Avenue is a 14-story, 153-foot building with 48 apartments. The permit describes a mixed-use building with a cellar.

Names and addresses: Housing Connect calls the lottery "282 4th Avenue Apartments". The permit and PLUTO, the City's lot database, use 284 4th Avenue. HPD's data names the project "282-284 4TH AVENUE". YIMBY used "282-284 4th Avenue" in 2025.
Permit: Department of Buildings job B00751849 describes a "PROPOSED NEW FOURTEEN STORY AND CELLAR MIXED USE BUILDING." It lists 14 stories, 153 feet and 48 dwelling units.

Certificate of occupancy: the first one, dated October 7, 2026, covers 48 dwelling units.

Design: the permit's applicant is Leandro Nils Dickson Architect, LLC. YIMBY's June 2026 report says "designed by ND Architecture and Input Creative Studio".
What stood here before: Brownstoner wrote that the site "covers what was 280 to 284 4th Avenue" and "held three low rise structures". Two demolition filings, from 2022 and 2024, cover a one-story and a two-story building on the lot.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Inclusionary Housing Program and is anticipating to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421-a Tax Incentive Program".

Inclusionary Housing and 421-a in HPD's words

Inclusionary HousingHPD says the program "is designed to promote and preserve affordable housing where zoning has been modified to encourage new development."
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". A 2022 demolition filing for the lot lists "MIH" as a special district. Brownstoner wrote that the building "is required to include affordable units" under that program.
421-aHPD says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings." Its page describes two versions, 421-a (1-15) and 421-a (16).
HPD's own recordproject 75993 lists the program group "Multifamily Incentives Program" and the planned tax benefit "421a".

What it means: no record opened names the 421-a version or an Inclusionary Housing option for this building.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

The ten apartments at 40% and 60% AMI rent for less than the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum. The three at 110% AMI rent for more.

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."

What it means: the lowest rents are well under the maximum, and the highest are over it.

Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing; maximums from DSS-8r, effective April 1, 2026, which gives them "if all utilities are included in the lease".

Key pointthe listing says "Tenants are responsible for electricity, including stove and heat. Rent includes hot water." So this report took off two DSS-8r allowances: "Electric with Cooking Range" ($126 for a one-bedroom, $167 for a two-bedroom) and "Electric Heat Only" ($62 and $82).

Each rent against the CityFHEPS maximum after those allowances
Apartment	Rent	Maximum less allowances	Difference

What it means: before allowances, the 110% one-bedroom is $443 over and the 110% two-bedroom $792 over. DSS decides the amount for each household, so ask your caseworker before you sign anything.

Is 282 4th Avenue the same as 284 4th Avenue?

Yes, the records describe one building. Housing Connect uses 282 4th Avenue. The permit, the certificate of occupancy and PLUTO use 284 4th Avenue, and HPD names the project "282-284 4TH AVENUE". All of them point to Brooklyn block 456, lot 32, in ZIP code 11215.

Not through this lottery. Applications were due June 23, 2026, and on October 23, 2026, the lottery was not in Housing Connect's open-lottery search. No waiting list was posted.
