Last checked: October 24, 2026, against the Housing Connect listing for lottery 7749, read twice that day, and Housing Connect's open-lottery search, which did not list it either time; the Housing Connect FAQ; HPD's 485-x page and guide Applying for Affordable Housing; CityFHEPS form DSS-8r; Department of Buildings filings (jobs X01255584 and X01233373), older job records and certificates of occupancy (DOB NOW and older); HPD's Affordable Housing Production by Building data; PLUTO; ACRIS records for Bronx block 2504; City Planning's GeoSearch; HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rents; and the MTA's subway and rail station data.

- 40apartments in lottery 7749, 20 at each address
- 99 and 99apartments in the two building filings
- $2,283the rent for each of 20 one-bedrooms
- $2,713the rent for each of 20 two-bedrooms
- 13 and 14stories at 940 and 942 in the filings
- Not openno deadline in the listing as of October 24, 2026
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Watch outthe one-bedrooms rent for $2,283 at both addresses, but the apartment records print different minimum incomes: $85,680 at 940 and $84,858 at 942. The listing's rent table prints $85,680 for all 20. The listing does not say why. Ask the Housing Connect hotline, 212-863-7990.

| 3 people | $122,160 |

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 940 and 942 Woodycrest Avenue?
Yes. Housing Connect accepts vouchers, and a voucher holder does not have to meet the minimum income. Both rents are under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum: the one-bedrooms by $451 and the two-bedrooms by $284. 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."

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $2,283 | $2,283 | $2,734 |
| 2 bedrooms | $2,713 | $2,713 | $2,997 |
What it means: each size has one rent at both addresses, so the lowest and highest bars match.

| 3 or 4 | 2 | $2,997 |
What it means: DSS-8r ties each amount to family size. The listing allows sizes outside these rows, such as three people in a one-bedroom or five in a two-bedroom. Ask DSS or your caseworker how CityFHEPS treats that.
Source: DSS-8r, 2026 payment standards.
Watch outthe maximums assume the rent covers all utilities. The listing names no utility, so this report subtracts no utility allowance.
- Credit check: the FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
- Section 8: the FAQ names "Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HPD or NYCHA)." See the New York City Housing Authority page and the 2026 payment standards.

Not yet. Both buildings are in one Housing Connect lottery, number 7749, listed as "940 & 942 Woodycrest Avenue Apartments." On October 24, 2026, the listing showed rents but no deadline, and it was not in the open-lottery search. Finish your Housing Connect profile now and watch the listing for a deadline.
What is the rent at 940 and 942 Woodycrest Avenue?
One-bedrooms rent for $2,283 a month and two-bedrooms for $2,713, at both addresses. All 40 apartments are at 80% AMI. These are the listing's rents on October 24, 2026. The listing does not say which utilities the rents include, so ask the hotline before you count on a total cost.
How much do you have to earn for 940 and 942 Woodycrest Avenue?
Without a voucher, from $84,858 a year for a one-bedroom at 942, or $85,680 at 940. Two-bedrooms start at $101,863. The most is $146,560, for five people in a two-bedroom. With a voucher or rental subsidy, the Housing Connect FAQ says the minimum income does not apply at all.

The one-bedrooms are $451 under the 2026 CityFHEPS maximum and the two-bedrooms $284 under. The FAQ says rent should be within your program's limits, so check with your agency or caseworker first.
Are 940 and 942 Woodycrest Avenue the same building?
No. They are two new buildings on next-door lots, with separate permits for 13 and 14 stories and 99 apartments each. The 940 filing calls them "one zoning lot with the same owner and applicant." One Housing Connect lottery, 7749, covers 20 apartments in each building, so one application covers both.
