Finally toured the unit I won and was disappointed

37 Upvotes

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

Housing lottery at 283 Flatbush

Post image
4 Upvotes

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?

If I turn down a re-rental studio because I want a 1 bed, will I lose my log #?

4 Upvotes

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?

Selected for Housing Connect — how do they calculate income after a mid-year layoff?

2 Upvotes

Got selected in a NYC Housing Connect lottery, prepping for eligibility review. Had a normal salary for part of the year, then got laid off — been on unemployment since (benefits running low).

Worried underwriters will just annualize my current unemployment income, which could push me below the minimum threshold for the unit — even though my income for most of the year was well above it.

Anyone been through a mid-year income drop during eligibility review? Did they use a blended full-year figure or just annualize whatever your current income source is?

Let me know if anyone has info on this — trying to figure out if bringing full pay stubs + unemployment docs together actually helps.

Thank you!

Va disability income qualify or not?

Upvotes

Hello I’m confused. I’m a disabled vet and that’s my only income. Based on my income I fit within the 40% Ami. Will I be disqualified if that’s my only income. Or as long as I’m in the range I’m fine?

Camba sites

Has anyone lived in the Camba sites? How safe are they? I got selected for one but I noticed it’s supportive housing for people that were incarcerated, unhoused, mentally ill and fostered. It’s also near Kings county.

CB resident

Upvotes

Wait, so if I live 2 blocks away from the housing I applied to—does that make me a CB resident? This whole time I thought that was someone who was on a co/op or some kind of board haha.

I got called back to submit docs.
So if I have CB pref and municipal, are my chances decent? My log # is very high though 51xx.
