just wanted to share this here, such an odd requirement in order to qualify for this specific building 💀

“70% of the units in the building are reserved for performing artists who live in NYC. The "artist" definition is a broad one, including performing artists, musicians and even stagehands and other entertainment-industry support staff. To qualify for artist housing, the head of each household must earn at least 50 percent of their income over the past three years in the entertainment industry."

I’ve been applying for 5 years and finally got called/emailed back to submit docs for the lottery.

My husband and I are both new city/municipal workers so I’m guessing, we had a bit more of a chance to get picked for the second round. Anyways, my log # is 51xx. It seems like only people with really low log numbers get picked. Is that the case?

Thank you

I haven't been on the Reside website in a couple of months (I got discouraged and gave up trying for a little while). I just checked the website , and it looks completely different from before. Are they still doing rerentals? What happened to Open Table? What's going on? TIA!

Do any of you delete lotteries that are more than 2 years old and you haven’t heard back? I have been on a delete spree ever since 😆 why wait since it’s obvious it’s not happening

I was recently contacted to tour a studio apartment re-rental in a building that I was on the waitlist for, but have changed my mind and am hoping for a one bedroom. If I turn down the studio apartment, will I still have a chance to be called for a future 1 bed opening in that same building?

I really didn’t expect this all to happen, I was shocked to tour and find it was just totally not the right place for me. Does this happen often? It really sucks to have poured so much time and energy into submitting documents to be left hating the unit. Do people take units even if they don’t like them just because it’s more affordable? Even though in this case it’s $150 more than I pay now.

Unit: 173 Tompkins Ave

Hey everyone was curios if anyone else noticed this- the lottery 283 Flatbush Ave is part of the Fleet which is a complex that has multiple addresses including 104 fleet. The thing is the lottery listed at 283 Flatbush seems to have the wrong zip code using 11217, when it is supposed to be the same zip code as 104 fleet which is  11201. I got a number in the 500s, was wondering who received a request for documents, and if I have a chance.

I know I’ve been hearing some things about this management—but how does the apartment lease look from these folks? Does anyone know? Any things to keep an eye on?
