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.
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.

Which Rents a CityFHEPS or Section 8 Voucher Reaches

Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum for their size. They stay under it after the utility allowances for electric cooking and electric heat are taken off.

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."

Key pointthe listing says "Tenant is responsible for electricity, including stove and heat. Hot water is included with the rent." So this report took off two DSS-8r allowances: "Electric with Cooking Range" ($111 and $126) and "Electric Heat Only" ($52 and $62) for a studio and a one-bedroom.

VoucherMatch's own apartment pages file that ZIP code under the South Bronx, so check all three names when searching.

Are the rents at 585 Jackson Avenue below market?

Yes, below HUD's figures. HUD's fiscal year 2027 figures for ZIP code 10455 are $2,280 for a studio and $2,390 for a one-bedroom. The lottery rents are $217 and $191 under. HUD's figures include most utilities. These rents do not include electricity, so the full cost comes closer to HUD's figure.

Can I still apply to 585 Jackson Avenue?

Not through this lottery. Applications were due January 28, 2026, and on October 22, 2026, the lottery was not in Housing Connect's open-lottery search. No waiting list was posted. HPD's re-rental page lists the marketing agent, Reside New York, for openings outside Housing Connect.

Who owns and built 585 Jackson Avenue?

City records name Jackson Ventures NY LLC as owner. It bought the lot in February 2024 for $2,700,000, and PLUTO lists it today. The permit's architect firm is Nikolai Katz Architect. The lottery's marketing agent was Reside New York, and the loans on record are from Broadview Capital LLC.
