Does anyone have experience on submitting for a lottery while already approved and in the process of trying to secure another unit? Specifically, I would need to update my salary, however it could put me out of the range of the unit that I've already accepted. Any advice would be helpful.

I have lotteries I applied to in 2022 for example still in my pending listed as "applied". It annoys me to see my old applications with high log numbers and the lottery ended 3+ years ago.

Do folks withdraw from the old ones that clearly have occupants etc? Is there any favor to leaving it there? Curious what the recommended thing to do is. Thank you for any insight.

im in the 60% ami for an apt at the seren 16 west. my application is placed on hold until a unit in my ami becomes available. odds of this? anyone have a success story?

I submitted docs last week and was asked a few days ago to either do a credit check or rental history. Does this mean my docs were approved??

Does anyone who has transferred within their building (ex. studio to 1 bedroom, to a bigger unit), know if there are applicable asset limits for a transfer?

I know there is no income cap (just a minimum), but the agency hasn't responded to my questions around the latter yet.

Secondarily, how are the financial checks performed? Is there a background/official inquiry, or is it just a review of the submitted documentation? Thanks!

我就自己在 Willets Point Commons 申请经济适用房的事宜寻求建议。

在审核过程中，负责我申请的工作人员曾要求我提供虚假或不实信息。我拒绝了这一要求，坚持提供真实信息。此后，我的申请处理过程便遇到了困难。

当我提出更换负责人员时，随即接到电话告知：更换人员会导致申请被重新审核，并使整个流程变得更加复杂。我当时采信了这一说法，因此没有继续进行更换人员的程序。
我此前获悉排在我前面的申请人已被拒，轮到我接受审核了

然而，在我拒绝提供虚假信息并提交文件之后，却被告知此单元已分配给排在我前面的一位申请人，而我的申请状态也被变更为“无可用单元”（No Unit Available）。

我感到不解的是：既然此前我被告知排在前面的申请人已被拒且轮到我审核，为何在我拒绝提供虚假信息后，又被告知该单元已分配给排在我前面的申请人？

我想咨询一下，针对这种情况，我可以向哪个部门申请进行独立审查。

Has anybody gotten answer of approval or ineligibility???

I just found out 325 Bond Street apparently has a “poor door” for the affordable units. I hadn’t really heard about this before.

Can someone explain how it actually works? Is it really a completely separate entrance/lobby for affordable tenants? Anyone who lives there or knows the setup, please fill me in because wtf lol.

I am potentially moving into a 1- bd apartment in this building and would like some recent reviews from former and current residents.

What are your pros and cons?

With everything being electric, what is your average monthly utility bill (summer/ winter)?

How is cooking on the induction stove?

Overall thoughts on management and staff team?

First and foremost, I just wanna thank God for this miracle. I have been praying for this for a long time and was on the verge of homelessness because I couldn’t afford NYC rent and was living in my dad’s basement. I asked and he answered and I’ll forever be grateful. And God bless all the people who worked on my file.
I always said if I ever get accepted, I would show my timeline so there it is.

Let me know if you have any questions

I am seeking advice regarding my application for affordable housing at Willets Point Commons.

During the review process, the staff member handling my application asked me to provide false or inaccurate information. I refused this request and insisted on providing truthful information. Subsequently, I encountered difficulties with the processing of my application.

When I asked to switch to a different staff member, I was immediately informed that doing so would trigger a re-review of the application and complicate the entire process. I accepted this explanation at the time and did not proceed with the request to change staff members.
I had previously been informed that the applicant ahead of me had been rejected and that it was my turn for review.

However, after I refused to provide false information and submitted my documents, I was told that the unit had been assigned to the applicant ahead of me, and my application status was changed to "No Unit Available."

I am confused: given that I was previously told the applicant ahead of me had been rejected and it was my turn, why was I later informed—after refusing to provide false information—that the unit had been assigned to that same applicant?

I would like to know which department I can contact to request an independent review of this situation.

Is living in Willets point commons worth it? With 160% AMI?
Can you hear people from next apartments?

If you already have a NYCHA unit, have you subleased before? My lease says I can have a subletter for a max of 2 years so long as they meet the income requirement. But I’m wondering if this would unintentionally bring a new income certification if I want to live in the apartment again, after I sublease it to someone else
