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.
Certificate of occupancyThe Department of Buildings' sign-off that a building, or part of it, can be lived in.
421-aA property tax break for new apartment buildings, run by HPD. HPD's page calls it "a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings."
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 standardAn 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.
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.

What 421-a Means for These Five Apartments

The listing describes the lottery as "5 Residential Units Restricted at 70%, 130% AMI (421a)." It does not say which 421-a program or option applies.

421-a(16), in the words of HPD's page

Its other namea 2017 law "renamed tax exemptions issued pursuant to Real Property Tax Law Section 421-a as the Affordable New York Housing Program."
How longprojects without the enhanced benefit "would have to comply with the affordability requirements and other requirements for 35 years."

Rents and Income Ranges for 382 East 159th Street on Housing Connect

The listing has two rents for the same size: $1,826 and $2,500 a month. The reason is two income levels. Two one-bedrooms are for households at 70% AMI, and three are for households at 130% AMI.

Apartments	Rent	People	Yearly income
2 one-bedrooms, 70% AMI	$1,826	1 to 3	$75,909 to $106,890
3 one-bedrooms, 130% AMI	$2,500	1 to 3	$99,018 to $198,510

What it means: all five are one-bedrooms. Households of four or more cannot apply.

Source: Housing Connect listing for lottery 7694, read October 19, 2026. The top of each range is for three people.

Household size	70% AMI apartments	130% AMI apartments
1 person	$75,909 to $83,160	$99,018 to $154,440
2 people	$75,909 to $94,990	$99,018 to $176,410
3 people	$75,909 to $106,890	$99,018 to $198,510

What it means: income before taxes must fall in the range for the household's size. A three-person household earning $99,018 to $106,890 fits both.

Key pointthe asset limit is $118,720 for the 70% AMI apartments and $220,480 for the 130% AMI apartments. The FAQ sets the limit at "the maximum income limit for a four (4)-person household" at the apartment's level.

The FAQ says minimum incomes exist "To ensure that households are not paying more than one third of their incomes in rent." The listing does not say how its figures were set.

Can You Use CityFHEPS or Section 8 at 382 East 159th Street?

Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and a voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS one-bedroom maximum: $1,826 by $908 and $2,500 by $234. The listing does not say which utilities the rents include.

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."

Does 382 East 159th Street take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

Yes. The Housing Connect FAQ accepts Section 8 and CityFHEPS, and minimum income does not apply with a voucher. The $1,826 rent is $908 under the 2026 CityFHEPS one-bedroom maximum of $2,734. The $2,500 rent is $234 under it. That maximum assumes all utilities are in the rent.

Is 382 East 159th Street the same as 369 East 159th Street?

No. They are separate lots. New York YIMBY's May 2020 report is headlined 369 East 159th Street, but it names the 382 East 159th Street LLC and figures that match the 382 filings. City filings for 369 East 159th Street describe a different six-story building with 24 apartments. Only 382 is on Housing Connect.

Are the rents at 382 East 159th Street below market?

Partly. The $1,826 rent is $564 below HUD's fiscal year 2027 one-bedroom figure of $2,390 for ZIP code 10451. The $2,500 rent is $110 above it. HUD's figure includes utilities. So three of the five lottery apartments rent for more than HUD's estimate for this ZIP code.
