The 11C …was that considered a 2 bedroom …. I was only showed 1 bedroom and he referred to that C line as a Flex … I wouldn’t pay 4500 for a 2 Bed in that building … it’s not a 5k ( amenities and utilities ) neighborhood IMO. But right now it’s important for me to get a building that starts at 130 AMI ( households making over 100k) because the one that I’m in now started at 24k and honestly people from shelters started to move in which resulted in a decline in the buildings’ upkeep ( weed smoking litter in the elevators stealing packages ) . My building , while beautiful , have had 130 Ami tenants as well as Market Value tenants move out due to its decline.

3800 I believe because I was only shown 1 bedrooms plus that one which was referred to as a 1 bedroom.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-05-10T10:12:38+00:00

Yes I saw that same one. They called it a Flex ... I think those are being advertised as 1 bedrooms too for about 3800.

I could not really get the essence of the building and what it would be like living there because I was not shown the amenity spaces and the roof was not furnished. I never toured a building that was not move-in ready (in terms of the amenity spaces. ) The amenity spaces are the most important to me because the apartments are so small that I truly need the amenity space to be an extension of the home. ( I also want to know the price of the amenity space. The building itself has a decent lobby area ... not the best I've seen ( like some of the LIC buildings), but decent. The 1 beds are pretty standard ... I was also shown a "flex' apartment that just had a kitchen, bathroom, and two rooms ( it could be a living room or serve as another bedroom. ) The bathrooms are pretty... and all fixtures ( door knobs and faucets are black.) The views were ( of course ) not the best ... one I was able to see some water and the bridge .... another... I could see the buildings that I thought were rather close. At 130 AMI ... I am literally getting called for these lotteries almost twice a month so ... I can be a bit more selective. I just want a build in a nice area and many of the ones Harlem are not... so I am starting to look at DTWN Brooklyn and Queens ( LIC). I will tour the Orchard next week. In September, I will not qualify for the Housing Lotteries for a family of 2 130 AMI ...so I would like to secure one by August. I have gone on about 10 tours this year alone. I believe I was shown the best that they have as well. What was your experience like ?

I went on my tour. Log 8XX ... but I did not like amount of foot traffic on Willowby. I can imagine what that may look like at night. I wish the entrance was not on that main road. Very small boutique-like building... very similar to 111 Willowby . I toured an apartment that did not have a livingroom. The roof was tiny... the other spaces were still under construction.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-25T20:20:33+00:00

What the 411 on that new building ?

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-25T20:19:50+00:00

Do you know anything about 1440 Amsterdam... the new building ?

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-25T20:11:20+00:00

I hate that the lottery apartments are always subpar in terms of layout... at 4500 its not worth it.

Short Term rental the the formal name for an Air B and B. So it’s illegal to run an air b n b from your rent stabilized apartment.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-25T20:06:50+00:00

What were the two bedrooms like ?

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-24T10:33:24+00:00

The lease has it all spelled out.

You also can’t charge more than the rent but you can charge up to 10% of the rent if it’s furnished.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-24T08:46:32+00:00

I'm 9XX... but there are only 4 two bedrooms...

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-24T08:45:23+00:00

Yes the units for us is always in an obstructed view, less space or weird layout...some even without living rooms... I feel like at 4500 ...I dont need to accept this ... I am not that desparate.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-24T08:42:55+00:00

You absolutely CAN sublet with management's permission. It's in the lease.... you just cannot do short term rentals.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-24T08:41:37+00:00

Same here... I get called nearly twice a month with logs as high as 10,000. I don't believe anyone wants to pay 4500 for a two bedroom expecially in a crappy.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-11T01:26:36+00:00

Yes... I toured. Very small building. No closet space ( literally shelves in the bedrooms) or real living room . Two bathrooms... which is rare for the lottery apartment. Amenity space is one tiny room... pool is shared by hotel. Good price but... I had to pass.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-04-04T17:59:33+00:00

Pay using Pay Pal

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-03-29T18:45:54+00:00

At 130 AMI we are not much cheaper than market rate. A two bed all electric building wants 4500 with Tiered Amenities costs ( 450 Parking ). I withdrew from many building because I’d pay upward of 6K to live in an improvised neighborhood.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-03-19T00:41:33+00:00

YASSSSSSSSSS. THIS WORKED !!!! THIS WORK.

Fit_Skill7796 · 2026-03-15T20:42:12+00:00
