The affordable housing lottery is now open for 45-57 Davis Street, a nine-story mixed-use development in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by J Frankl/Charles Mallea and developed by Solomon Feder of Velocity Framers USA, the 145,000-square-foot will yield a total 158 units in a mix of studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Available on NYC Housing Connect are 48 apartments for residents at 130 percent of the area median income, ranging in eligible income from $73,920 to $183,300.
At 130 percent of the AMI, there are 12 affordable studios with a $2,156 monthly rent for incomes ranging from $73,920 to $118,300; 23 one-bedrooms with a $2,245 monthly rent for incomes ranging from $76,972 to $133,120; 12 two-bedrooms with a $2,710 monthly rent for incomes ranging from $92,915 to $159,640, and one three-bedrooms with a $3,122 monthly rent for income ranging from $107,040 to $183,300.
The YIMBY stenographer forgot to mention that the lucky gentrifier, I mean tenant is responsible for paying the electric bill to go along with the "affordable" rent.

The word "Lottery" is a shill to pretend its legit.
You need to know somebody or have a high up relative who works for the city to get one of those "affordable" units. Its like trying to get into the Park Dept or IATSE union.
Meaning 99.99% impossible, maybe even higher if that's even possible
Who the hell wants to live in a shit tower anyway, share an elevator with a brat mom, screaming baby in a stroller plus 4 stinky spoiled brat kids pushing every floor button.
OH BOY talk about being trapped in misery!!
Now add the local shacks charge $28 for a Hamburger, over $6 for morning coffee and doughnut called a Frappa'Latte & CinnaBun or some shit. Now add some union doorman with his hand out every time you enter/exit already earning $175,000k a year.
What these racketeer city democrats have done to this city is a dam shame

Sorry $2100 plus a month for a studio is not affordable. Is a scam.
The building looks ugly, they could pay me $10,000 a month and wouldn't be interested.
Belongs in China, Cuba or Venezuela.
" The YIMBY stenographer forgot to mention that the lucky gentrifier, I mean tenant is responsible for paying the electric bill...."
Who pays for heat? is the heating electric?
tenant is responsible for paying the electric bill...."
A $70 or so electric bill is nothing, there are hidden maintenance fees for trash, lawn, flower planters, lobby, changing lightbulbs, mopping, window cleaning also.
These buildings are infested with over a dozen different union racket's, one reason these $2,100 rents are actually over $3000 when you add up all the fees & surcharges.
Why does a building need at lease one union electrician and one union building mechanic on duty 24-7 to change light bulbs or pour out a mop bucket?
That's 48X$125hr every day do the math !!
These union racketeers gotta go !!
I'm so glad I moved out of New York shitty. I own a house now in suffolk and pay less than that in mortgage. Good luck fellow new Yorkers!
Who makes this stuff up? If I was making over 70 k a year I would not choose to live in LIC or NYC
Depressing!
I don’t make close to half of that so no “affordable” for me. No wonder there’s so many homeless on the streets.
I own a house now in suffolk and pay less than that in mortgage.
Yes, and you will soon be surrounded by MS-13 and every other piece of shit on the planet +$20,000 school, town, fire, municipality & police taxes to pay for them all.
Illegal immigration and democrats destroyed Suffolk county worse then Queens.
Take a walk in Greenport or any Suffolk County Main street or LIRR station at night these days. You need pack a gun, taser and flack vest.
Why are these people bailing to that sinking ship called Long Island I have no idea. I had to dump a nice house in Manhasset due to now $30,000 taxes, Asian & Democrat destruction of the whole town.
The Asians buy with cash, put 20 kids from China in each house, claim them as family to use the Manhasset Schools busting at the seams. 50 ESL teachers. The democrats refuse to do checks, verification's NOTHING but raise taxes and rubber stamp demolition permits for Asians & Iranians!!
Also: Summer home in Mattituck dumped for $375K due to all the dam Democrats, squatters, homeless, prostitutes, Drugs, Illegals & MS-13 that have destroyed Riverhead, Southold and most of Suffolk.
That grass isn't any greener, its actually worse !!
Don't have a heart attack or emergency in Suffolk, you will die because the average EMS response and trip takes min 40 minutes to over an hour. Same shit to get a hot coffee & roll in the morning. You gotta drive on roads with drunken Hicks, Mexicans & Guatemalans all driving huge heavy extended cab pickups with no licenses or insurance down the center of the center of the roadbed to do anything ---F_ THAT !!!
(DWI roadside fatality's in Suffolk went up 600% since Obama)
People in Queens don't know how good they have it, I know it has its problems but F_ Long Island or any place out in the country where you gotta drive to do anything. Pure hell in winter.
-Joe
Once again we all know the BS with the word 'affordable' well that is except with our elected officials who glibly state the term without the least bit of irony.
@Joe
Thank you. Well said. True.
I like how Joe trashes all of Long Island by talking about one upper middle class town in Northwestern Nassau and some random villages out in Suffolk. There are plenty of other places that destroy Queens in quality of life and taxes. Don't forget about the city income tax that fools many city dwellers into thinking they are winning on the property tax game, when they end up paying more in local taxes overall.
"Don't forget about the city income tax""
What the f_ do I care I'm retired, I just need to do handyman odds & ends for spending cash.
"upper middle class town in Northwestern Nassau'
Hey, I had boots on the ground in that disaster township buddy
Your talking about Manhasset.
When was last time you drove down Plandome road, It looks like a friggan war zone.
Storefront's: For Fent, For Rent, For Rent, For Rent, all the scaffolding from construction and street closing destroyed all the old mom & pops.
The democrats culled the Christmas tree and the 400 year old oak in fron of Town Hall and erected a huge ugly industrial looking sign, it reads "Are you racist" "NOT IN OUT TOWN" "We support diversity and tolerance".
(in other words, new sheriff's are in town and if you don't like our progressive agenda get the F out)
All the nice ranch & cape homes have huge cancers on them or are in the process of being bulldozed, the debris from all the trucks litters the streets, you get nails in your tires. The streets are all busted up.
Gatsby mansion & property plowed to the property line and replaced with 9 big boxes.
Now they are also putting in town sewers for large mixed use building and taxes for that.
Here is what started the disaster:
First Great Neck built a section 8 tower and filled it with 500 black family's to get government funding. This resulted in a huge demographic swing in democrat votes unseating all the Town of North Hempstead Republicans.
N Shore LIJ Hospital (big money) then started importing hordes of special visa people from China, India, Russia and Iran and needed space to house them all. The Jewish in Great Neck sold everybody out to builders and the Greeks and deceased peoples children in Manhasset sold to Asian developers and Asian churches. The Asians are now destroying Manhasset & Port Washington are the biggest problem. They venture to make rent $$$ wile getting children and get also paid from parents in China. The old "The children's parents are away working overseas we are aunts and uncles"
Result school district busting at the seams, kids annexed in trailers and commercial property. More multi million $$$ bussing contracts & traffic to move them.
Don't go by home prices on Zillo because its a joke. Very few sellers are getting 1 million+ for 1 family ranch homes in Manhasset now. When my father died from Corona virus I sold the house and had a hard time getting my price because I did not want to fuck my neighbors selling to Asians or Iranians (like the old Jewish people in Great Neck did, the Greeks in Manhasset included)
All it takes is 1 home on a street to ruin it.
Thats the truth and the only way to describe what happened to a once nice small Norman Rockwell type town in under 500 words
I don't care if you don't like my words, its the only way to correctly illustrate what happened.
-Joe
Agreed with Anon
LI has its problems, but it is way better than Queens. The problem with LI is it’s attached to NYC
Joe,
You have now expanded your narrow view of Northwestern Nassau to the two bordering towns. There are two other towns and two cities in Nassau alone. You can't condemn all of Long Island for the democratic Town of NH. The Town of Oyster Bay is Republican controlled. And even NH is very moderate in terms of being Democrat.
I am just saying you can't condemn two counties of 3 million people for a small corner of one of the counties that literally borders Queens anyway. I enjoy a healthy debate of LI vs Queens.
Residents of LI will revolt at the ballot box if things get too left-leaning. Queens residents are generally rhe D voting sheep no matter what.
LI is far from perfect but overall it is a much better value than Queens.
@anon above; Republicans were not even able to take back Kemp Hannon's Garden City Senate seat back from a Dem who is truly a moron. How much longer do you think the TOH Republicans will last?
@Joe; you are 100% correct. LI is less than half a generation from being done.
@NedNRA: I normally agree with your other points but I know many doormen in top buildings and none of them make anywhere close to 175k a year. And plenty of them are Republicans. The president of the Metropolitan Republican Club on the East Side is a guy Republican if you can believe that.
LI is less than half a generation from being done.
Lucky at that, maybe 3 or 4 years under Bidons crew.
Hempstead and Oyster Bay town last Republicans are on life support
The Long Island illegals doing all the construction have there woman, children and extended family's (HUGE FAMILYS) on the way.
The illegals priced out of NYC are now driving out to Long Island with those Andrew Cuomo drivers licenses looking for work and places to live.
They ring doorbells and drop paper flyers
Visit any Home depot, IGA, Walmart or supermarket and take a good look at Long Islands future.
That's cool, let some of this 3rd word shit leave NYC and have those "welcoming" stupid Long Island people pay for them. The Asians are bailing from Queens for the North Shore school districts along the Port Washington LIRR branch. I knew some (the only people who said hello to me in the morning) Yan said he was ready to pay near anything, work 20 hours a day, board some children to spare his kids the NYC school system and get them in the N Shore Long Island school.
Meaning: With Asians paying top $$ for Western N Shore LI homeowners in Towns like Hempstead, Babylon, 5 Towns, Oyster Bay are going to have there property values, streets and schools decimated.
Perhaps somebody can explain
Question:
Why do elder white people refuse or become incapable of seeing evil, neglect, things turning run-down, turning to shit and say "Oh stop, not true, that's not going to happen"
My Father R.I.P included, Its a big problem, is it related to age?
-Joe
Joe is right on. Everyone should thank him for telling the truth here on Queens Crap. You won't get that from the Lamestream Demorat/Fox American controlled meadia ! You sheep are horrible and enable the actions of these bastards.
Joe is our Glenn Greenwald ! My neck hurts from nodding "yes" over and over again...
Joe, The American people are unifying against the lies and gaslighting. A storm is brewing... buckle up.
Joe is all TRUE. Thanks man. May God Bless you!
Nassau County is full of "city people" and there are no extreme politics there on either side, sans some shitty villages like Hempstead. Even Democratic County Executive Curran criticizes DeBlasio. If you are looking for far right politics (which many here seem to be) then LI is not your haven.
If you are looking for far right politics
How about just plain American politics, no far right or far left?
Does that work for you? Activist with labels.
No activist here, just a boring centrist who equally dislikes the woke crowd as much as the Trump crowd.
No activist here, just a boring centrist who equally dislikes the woke crowd as much as the Trump crowd.
Let me rephrase this. You are either American or not. Simple right?
What Trump crowd?
Americans? You have a problem with that? Are you a globalist, really communist?
There is no Democrat vs Republican issue here.
The political system was subverted decades ago - see the public execution of over 3000 people on 9/11. For what? Wars? Money? People need to wake up quick. I'm not a Republican and not a Democrat. Only American.
Educate yourself. The truth will be painful, but is better than LIES.
"dislikes the woke crowd as much as the Trump crowd"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lol, These LI people claim to hate Trump & DeBlasio yet they repeatedly elected Tom Suozzi who fucked up all of Glen Cove and now this Canadian Marxist Laura Curran.
Now thanks to County Executive Curran and Cuomo II no dentist in Nassau county dare to prescribe pain killers for major surgery.
--"4 root canals or 4 implants no soup for you, take 2 Tylonal and get a good nights rest"
Punish everybody, let then suffer in pain because of a handful of idiots ?
Nassau County is full of "city people" all right, please welcome more city people Long Island
yet they repeatedly elected Tom Suozzi
Yep. What happened to the stolen money? Stolen by the politicians? Then they raised the taxes.
Some scam.
Stolen by the politicians?
Yep, Town of Oyster Bay it was politicians and their employee relitives
In Town of North Hempstead it was the building Inspectors and zoning people who got busted for bribes and "pay to build" payola.
The town attorneys didn't prosecute to "save the public taxes" just made them resign. I think one guy did 2 days in jail. The town Supervisor Yon Kaiman (D)also resigned and was eventually appointed (rewarded) as Chairman of the Nassau Finance Authority by Andrew Cuomo.
--You cant make this shit up !!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Kaiman
Now all 3: The town attorney, the 3 inspectors & zoning commissioner all have cushy high profile jobs at N Shore LIJ Hospital. The old Great Neck Jewish cashed out and Democrats and that dam Hospital waving big $$$ took over and ruined the whole North Shore from Little Neck to Huntington.
The N Shore sheep would not get off their ass to attend town meetings and public referendum votes.
Sit home, watch Football and bark "Naa its not gonna happen"
Manhasset & Port Washington was originally called "Cow Bay" home of dairy cows & sheep. Perhaps the Democrats should changed it back
Fact: The big building across Manhasset station (Now limo & auto repair) was the Borden dairy milking and pasteurization facility that provided dairy for NYC via steam locomotive that eventually became the LIRR Port Washington Line.
