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

Rendering of a slim 13-story apartment building of pale grey brick with tall narrow windows in a grid, small trees on its stepped roof terraces and wooden entry doors with round windows under a planter, standing between a six-story red brick building with arched top-floor windows on the left and a taller dark brick tower with red window frames on the right, with parked cars and a passing cyclist on the street; plain light grey bands fill both sides of the frame — 345 East 17th Street in Gramercy, Manhattan, in a rendering by StudioSC Architecture from the firm's project page. The 13-story building has 65 apartments in its permit, and 13 studios are in the Housing Connect lottery due November 9, 2026. This is a drawing made before completion, not a photograph.

What Is Being Built at 345 East 17th Street

345 East 17th Street is a 13-story rental building under construction, with 65 apartments in its permit. Thirteen of them, all studios, are in this lottery.

Names: Housing Connect calls it "345 East 17th Street Apartments", lottery 7659, at 345 E 17th St. PLUTO, HPD's data and property records use 343 East 17 Street, and so does the title of the architect's page.
A name on a sign: a hallway rendering in the listing shows a sign that reads "THE ERWIN". No record opened uses that name.
Permit: Department of Buildings job M00479953 was filed March 26, 2021. It reads "PROPOSE NEW 13-STORY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING".
Owner: the permit names "MINRAV DEVEOPMENT INC", spelled that way. Property records name 343 E 17 St Owner LLC.
Architect: Stephen Conte of StudioSC Architecture PLLC filed the plans. The firm's page calls it "a 13 story ground-up residential development".

Key pointthe listing's description reads, in full: "This building is being constructed through the 485 X Program, UAP, of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The project is 100% on-site and comprises 65 units. The lottery will market 13 units: 10 will be permanently affordable at 60% AMI, and 3 will be affordable at 100% AMI." The 65 matches the permit. The listing does not say what "100% on-site" means. The architect's page says the building has "a mix of market-rate and affordable housing".

What 485-x and UAP Mean for These 13 Studios

The listing names two programs run by HPD, and HPD's pages say both keep the affordable homes income-restricted for good.

485-x, in the words of HPD's page

What it isa law that gives "a real property tax exemption for the construction of new Multiple Dwellings and Eligible Conversions, except for hotels".
Options by sizeOption A is for 100 or more units. Option B is for "at least 6 and no more than 99 residential dwelling units". Option C, for 6 to 10 units, "cannot be located in Manhattan".
How long"All Affordable Housing Units will be permanently affordable."
Same doorsthe affordable homes "must share the same common entrances and common areas".

UAP, in the words of HPD's page

What it isit "allows buildings in all medium and high-density districts outside of Mandatory Inclusionary Housing areas to add at least 20% more housing".
The conditionthe added homes must be "permanently income-restricted and affordable to households earning an average of 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI)".
Who runs it"HPD is responsible for the administration of UAP."

The listing says the building "is anticipated to receive Tax Exemption through the Universal Affordability Preference Program and the 485x Tax Incentive program". No record opened says which program covers which studio, or which 485-x option the owner chose.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 345 East 17th Street?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and the minimum income does not apply to voucher holders. The ten $1,542 studios are far under the 2026 CityFHEPS studio maximum of $2,604. The three $2,596 studios are $8 under it before utilities and over it once the utility allowances are counted.

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."
