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.

Where the sources differ on the building

OwnerPLUTO names 343 Himrod Street LLC. The permit names "METRO HOUSE II". Brownstoner wrote that "Title documents show Metro House II LLC owns the property". The recorded loans name 301 Himrod LLC as borrower.
Ground leaseACRIS lists a lease memorandum to 301 Himrod LLC. Brownstoner called it "a 99-year ground lease agreement". The index does not show the term.
Construction typeHPD's production data and the permit call it new construction. The City's lottery data by building lists "Preservation".
HPD's countsproject 76949 counts 5 very low and 10 low income apartments. Project 78511, started March 24, 2026, counts all 15 as low income. Project 76949 lists the building at 301 Himrod Street.
Floor areaan amendment filed October 5, 2026, still in review, lists 62,683 square feet instead of 50,651.5.
ParkingBrownstoner lists parking among the amenities. The listing's amenity list does not.

What it means: the listing's split, 5 apartments at 40% AMI and 10 at 70%, matches HPD project 76949 and the City's lottery data.

485-xHPD says the program "was created to support the creation of affordable housing in New York City." Its page says "All Affordable Housing Units will be permanently affordable".
The lotPLUTO lists the zoning as R6.
