Somebody needs to peel some steel
here we go again!
THIS IS A SAD JOKE.
STOP CALLING THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THIS IS INCOME LINKED HOUSING UPPER INCOME PEOPLE , NOT THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE OF NYC.
WE ARE IN A HOUSING CRISIS FOR LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME NYERS AND THIS IS WHAT THEY OFFER.
THIS IS A TAXPAYER SUBSIDY FOR MILLIONAIRE DEVELOPERS
421A IS DEAD.
At 130 percent of the AMI, there are three one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $2,280 for incomes ranging from $82,012 to $156,130, and one two-bedroom with a monthly rent of $2,750 for incomes ranging from $99,120 to $187,330.
they offer 4 units of income linked housing for upper income people and they got taxpayer subsidies under the now dead 421A program?
What a joke to call this affordable. Affordable to whom?

You can’t expect to be living in these places when you’re LOW INCOME !! There are people that are working 50-60 hrs a week and earn such income and deserve to live there. Go and apply for CITY HOUSING.
