No way Sheepshead Bay- not even close
Try Homecrest…
Good lard, that top photo is just a mess.
there is nothing like grabbing all of the close-outs at home depot to make a home
stop calling this affordable housing.
its INCOME BASED BASED HOUSING and only affordable to upper middle income and upper income people.
This isn’t affordable to any low income people.
It’s a scam and a huge subsidy for every greedy developer.
thanks DeBlasio

Welcome to the new NYC housing authority based “affordable income” your comment is the ones that make sense when they call out the words “affordable housing” attached to these buildings.
I’m born and raised in New York since 69 and I remember affordable housing meant being able to get out of the projects and moving into apartment buildings or “tenaments” where they rent would $6 – $800 dollars that was affordable housing and still considered low income because you lived in the “hood” this so called use of the moniker “affordable housing” these days is a slap in the face of regular working class and poor folks. What a disgrace.
