- 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.
- 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.

52 4th Avenue is a 12-story building with 79 apartments, on the permit and the certificate of occupancy. The same lot also goes by 58 4th Avenue in Department of Buildings records.
- Names and addresses: Housing Connect calls the lottery "52 4th Avenue Apartments". PLUTO, HPD's data and City Planning's address search use 52 4th Avenue. The permit and the certificates of occupancy use 58 4th Avenue. YIMBY writes 52 Fourth Avenue.
- Permit: new building job 340797141 lists 12 stories, 125 feet, 79 dwelling units and 76,232 square feet of construction. The zoning field reads C4-4D.
- What stood there before: on December 9, 2020, applications were filed to demolish seven two- and three-story buildings at 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60 4th Avenue and 360 and 362 Dean Street.
- Certificate of occupancy: the first one, dated May 29, 2026, covers 79 dwelling units. It was renewed on August 4, 2026.

- Architect and developer: YIMBY's reports say the building was "Designed by Gertler & Wente Architects and developed by Metropolitan Realty Exemptions under the RJ 4th Avenue LLC".
Watch outthe records do not agree on size. YIMBY described "a nine-story mixed-use building" with "53 residences" in 2020, and "a nine-story residential building" with "52 residences" in 2025. The permit and the certificate of occupancy say 12 stories and 79 units, and the listing says "12-story". Several DOB NOW filings tied to the same job list 53 units. PLUTO still shows 9 floors and no homes.

The Programs the Listing Names
The listing says the building "is being constructed through the Mandatory Inclusionary Program and 421a(16) Tax Exemption Program" of HPD.
- Mandatory Inclusionary HousingHPD says it "requires a share of new housing in medium- and high-density areas that are rezoned to promote new housing production" to "be permanently affordable".
- 421-a(16)HPD's page says a 2017 law "renamed tax exemptions issued pursuant to Real Property Tax Law Section 421-a as the Affordable New York Housing Program".
- How long 421-a(16) rules last"Projects that do not receive the enhanced 35 year benefit would have to comply with the affordability requirements and other requirements for 35 years." Projects with that benefit "would have a 40 year compliance period."
- Rental optionsthe 421-a(16) section lists rental Options A, B and C, and Options E, F and G for an "extended restriction period (40 years from completion)".
What it means: the listing names no 421-a(16) option, and no document opened says which one applies.

Yes, by city records. Both addresses point to Brooklyn block 198, lot 34. The permit and the certificates of occupancy use 58 4th Avenue. PLUTO, HPD's data and Housing Connect use 52 4th Avenue. YIMBY calls it 52 Fourth Avenue. The site once held seven small buildings, at 52 to 60 4th Avenue and 360 and 362 Dean Street.
Is 52 4th Avenue in Boerum Hill or Park Slope?
It is in Boerum Hill. The listing says "the heart of Boerum Hill", and City Planning's address search agrees. It sits in Brooklyn Community District 2 and ZIP code 11217. The nearest subway stop is the D, N and R platform at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, about 0.05 miles away in a straight line.
Are the rents at 52 4th Avenue below market?
Yes, by HUD's figures. Each rent is below HUD's fiscal year 2027 figure for ZIP code 11217, by $426 to $3,484 a month. HUD's figures include most utilities. At this building, tenants also pay electricity for the stove, heat and hot water, so the full cost is higher than the rent.
