What Is Being Built at 36-45 31st Street

36-45 31st Street is a new six-story building with 40 apartments, on a lot that held a one-story commercial building until 2020.

Permits: Department of Buildings (DOB) job 421797611 was filed August 29, 2019. It proposes 6 stories, 75 feet and 40 homes. The plans were approved November 14, 2019. Full permits came May 7, 2021.
Owner: the job and City Planning's PLUTO name 36-45 31st Street Owner LLC. That company bought the lot on October 21, 2025, ACRIS shows.
Developer: the New York Real Estate Journal says "Prosper Property Group acquired the partially completed development" in "late October 2025." DOB filings from November 2025 name it as owner.
Program: the listing says "Initial units for 12 421a16 units in Astoria, Queens."
Certificate of occupancy: DOB's data shows an "Initial" certificate for 40 apartments on June 2, 2026. A "Renewal Without Change" followed on September 25, 2026. The data does not say if either is temporary or final.

Watch outone building, several names. Housing Connect calls it "36-45 31st Street Apartments." New York YIMBY called it "The Greene" in 2023. The Real Estate Journal calls it "Midori." Some DOB filings for the same building number use 36-43 31st Street.

Where the records disagree about the building

DesignerYIMBY's rendering caption says "Designed by Green Design Construct." The Real Estate Journal names "Studios Go" as architect. The main permit names a registered architect but no firm.

What the 421-a(16) Program Means for the 12 Apartments

421-a(16) gives a new building a tax break, and in return some apartments must stay affordable for decades.

The 421-a(16) rental rules, in the words of HPD's program page

Option A"25% of the units must be affordable: at least 10% at up to 40% of AMI, 10% at up to 60% of AMI, and 5% at up to 130% of AMI."
Option B"30% of the units must be affordable: at least 10% at up to 70% of AMI and 20% at up to 130% of AMI."
Option C"At least 30% of the units must be affordable at up to 130% of AMI." The project "cannot receive any government subsidies."

Key pointno document opened names the option this building chose. The listing gives only "421a16" and one income level, 130% AMI. The Real Estate Journal says the project was "successfully qualifying for the 421a program." HPD's production data has no row for this lot.

Where 36-45 31st Street Is

The building is in ZIP code 11106, on 31st Street between 36th and 37th Avenues, by YIMBY's account.

Apartments	Rent	People	Yearly income
12 one-bedrooms	$3,059	1 to 3	$113,520 to $198,510

What it means: every apartment needs at least $113,520 a year, unless the household has a voucher or rental subsidy.

Key pointasset limit. Housing Connect's rent table gives $220,480. The FAQ sets the limit at "the maximum income limit for a four (4)-person household" at the apartment's level.

Does 36-45 31st Street Take CityFHEPS or Section 8?

Housing Connect accepts both, and minimum income does not apply with a voucher. But the $3,059 rent is $325 above the 2026 CityFHEPS one-bedroom maximum of $2,734, so CityFHEPS may not cover it. No apartment is marked as a project-based voucher unit, and a Section 8 holder's limit is set by the housing authority.

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."
