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.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.

What Was Built at 2892 Nostrand Avenue

2892 Nostrand Avenue is a nine-story building with 74 apartments. City records also file it as 2900 Nostrand Avenue.

Names and addresses: Housing Connect calls the lottery "2892 Nostrand Ave Apartments". PLUTO, the City's lot database, uses 2892 Nostrand Avenue. The building permit and the certificate of occupancy use 2900 Nostrand Avenue. City Planning's address search puts both numbers on one lot, Brooklyn block 7690, lot 73.
Permit: Department of Buildings job B00740310 reads "PROPOSED NINE (9) STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING." It lists 90 feet, 74 dwelling units and 69,920 square feet.
Certificate of occupancy: the first one, issued September 11, 2026, covers 74 dwelling units.
Owner: the permit names MIKEROSE REALTY LLC. PLUTO and the 2025 deed name MIKEROSE BROOKLYN LLC.

Where the records and the news reports differ

Apartment countthe permit, the certificate of occupancy, PLUTO and HPD all say 74. YIMBY wrote in 2022 and again in March 2026 that the building has 32 residences. A May 2022 fence filing for the lot also listed 32.
Heightthe permit says 90 feet. YIMBY's 2022 report said 95 feet.
ArchitectYIMBY's 2026 report says the building was "Designed by Archimaera Architecture". The permit names Fischer Makooi Architects PLLC as applicant.

What it means: the city records agree with each other on 74 apartments. No page opened explains the news reports' 32.

The Programs the Listing Names

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Inclusionary Housing Program and is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421a Tax Incentive Program". Its short description reads "20 Units MIH/421a".

The programs 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 Housing (MIH)HPD 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".
421-aHPD says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings." Its page describes two programs, "421-a (1-15)" and "421-a (16) Affordable Housing New York".

What it means: the listing names neither 421-a program and no affordability option. No document opened says which applies or whether the exemption was granted.
