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 406 Remsen Avenue

Design and development: New York YIMBY says the building was "Designed by Asher Hershkowitz Architect and developed by Samnon Associates".
Old building: a demolition job was for a "FULL DEMOLITION TO A ONE STORY MEZZANINE & CELLAR STRUCTURE". It was signed off November 17, 2022.
Other space: PLUTO lists 28,911 square feet of garage and 14,456 of office. YIMBY's 2020 report said "34 enclosed parking spaces".

Where the sources differ on the building

Apartmentsthe permit, the certificates of occupancy and HPD's data say 103. PLUTO says 95 homes, and a 2021 elevator filing says 95. YIMBY's 2020 and 2025 reports say 95.

Heightthe permit says 85 feet. YIMBY's 2020 report said "80-foot-tall".
ZIP codethe listing, the certificates, HPD and City Planning's address search say 11212. PLUTO says 11203.

What HPD's Senior Housing Program Means Here

The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Privately Financed Affordable Senior Housing Program". It adds that it "is anticipated to receive a Tax Exemption through the 421a Tax incentive program". The listing calls the 26 units "IH PFASH units at 80% AMI".

The Privately Financed Affordable Senior Housing (PFASH) program, in the words of HPD's term sheet

What it isit "facilitates the inclusion of Affordable Independent Residences for Seniors dwelling units (PFASH Units) in projects selected by HPD."
Who rents them"households with an income at or below 80% of AMI and that include at least one person whom is 62 years of age or older."
The 90% rule"At all times at least 90% of all PFASH Units in the project must be occupied by at least one person who is 62 years of age or older."
Rent rulesrents "must be registered with the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal and be subject to rent stabilization."
How longthe regulatory agreement "will have a term equal to 30 years".
Shared space"Accessory social and welfare facilities that are accessible to all building tenants must be provided on-site."

What it means: the listing's "Senior Center" amenity fits this rule, but no record opened says what the center offers.

Source: HPD's PFASH term sheet, dated July 18, 2019, opened October 21, 2026.

The program now: YIMBY reported in January 2021 that HPD "would stop accepting applications" for this program. The 2025 listing still names it for this building.
The tax break: HPD's 421-a page says "The 421-a Tax Incentive is a partial tax exemption for new multiple dwellings." The listing does not say which 421-a version or option applies to the five 130% two-bedrooms.

What it means: no apartment in the listing takes six or more people.

Source: the same listing. The low end in the 80% column is the minimum for a studio ($73,338), a one-bedroom ($79,200) or a two-bedroom ($95,932), whichever the household size allows.

Where a household's income reaches few or no apartments

Under $73,338below every minimum, unless the household has a voucher or rental subsidy.
One person from $73,338 to $79,199the studios only. The one-bedroom minimum is $79,200.
Two people from $108,561 to $109,199none. That is above the 80% maximum and below the 130% minimum.
Four or five people under $95,932none.
Over the maximumfrom $95,040 for one person up to $238,160 for five.

What it means: the gap for two people is $639 wide, so a two-person household near $109,000 should check its exact income.

Source: VoucherMatch's reading of the listing's minimum and maximum incomes.

Key pointthe rent table gives an asset limit of $135,680 for the 80% apartments and $220,480 for the 130% two-bedrooms. The FAQ sets the limit at "the maximum income limit for a four (4)-person household" at the apartment's level.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

All four rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size. A voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income.

This was a city lottery on NYC Housing Connect, and the listing names HPD as its agency. 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."

The DSS-8r lines for that are "Electric with Cooking Range" ($111, $126 and $167) and "Total (Electric Heat & Hot Water)" ($89, $106 and $138). With both taken off, the maximums are $2,404, $2,502 and $2,692, by VoucherMatch's arithmetic. The 80% rents stay under. The 130% two-bedroom, at $2,750, would be $58 over.
