A new affordable housing lottery has opened for eight units in a recently-constructed building in Woodside—where rental prices start at $1,750 a month.
The units are located in a nine-story, 74-unit building at 46-02 70th St. — in a building that fronts Queens Boulevard.
The affordable units are for those who make up to 130 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Two studio apartments are available at $1,750 a month to households of one to three people who make between $60,000 and $139,620 combined annually.
Six two-bedroom units are available at $2,400 a month to households of two to five people who make between $82,286 and $167,570 combined annually.
Tenants are responsible for paying the electricity — including heat — and gas bills in addition to rent.
The building features a shared laundry room, covered parking spots and bike storage.

This lego stack will probably collapse within ten years.
Section 8 can fill them fast.
Our U.S. absent border czar will fill up NYC soon with thousands illegals.
She knows she can’t stop cackling and grinning at every question and situation she’s faced with. Kamala and this potato administration are a joke.
The people who voted for Biden and his side kick should be ashamed of themselves. The big con continues.
Does this building have a pool table and free WiFi?
Don’t mind me.... I’m just over here waiting for BLM to build schools.
$1,750 a month to live in a Nazi like box with all kinds of rules like what kind of TV and Internet you must use, cant have this, cant have that, cant say this, cant say that, cant have BBQ on porch, guitar amps, cant have a over the air TV, radio or CB antenna even inside, even behind a window.
I think a maintenance fee exists atop that $1,750 a month. This to pay all the union lawn, elevator, electric, building mechanics, cleaners, garbage employees.
Who the hell can afford this ?
This city, all the different union people building owners MUST take to service these towers are what's jacking rents.
You don't need three $60hr electrician on duty 24-7 to change lightbulbs and reset circuit breakers. Botanical services in the monthly maintenance fee ?
What lawn, plants or trees?
Get rid of the unions that wont agree to a realistic agreement and things will become affordable. If some Union guy isn't happy with $30 $40 an hour to push a vacuum cleaner, babysit a piece of equipment or change lightblubs the fuck with em.
Family of Three in a studio? I hope they’re all working to afford that rent on the Boulevard of Death.
Anyone know what's happening with St. John's Hospital conversion to commercial and residential? It's taking a very long time. Also the apartment building on Woodhaven where the Drake movie theater was looks mostly empty,what's up?
Shouldn't AOC move her Grandmother here ?
Grandma lives in a hurricane-hit Puerto Rico home with mold and falling ceilings.
Shameful that AOC lives in luxury driving a Tesla while allowing her own grandmother live in squalid conditions.
Sure complain about unions, who helped make the middle class back in the days, but don't say anything about greedy companies, CEO's, hedgefund dicks pushing paper, overpaid sports and celebrity folks like Sean Hannity, the 1%. Some of you folks here are so fucking clueless, drinking from whoever tells you bullshit.

Yes, back in the day they had skills and work ethic. I was all for it but hell not now.
Those old timers are retired or in the cemetery: Now the soft sons, son in laws were handed most those union jobs based on relativity and nepotism. --not skills.
They have the same lousy work ethic as most young people, hipsters, guirlie men, don't want to get hands dirty or mess up a manicure. Cant lift or hold an 80 lb jackhammer straight, forget any proper pothole repair or hole closing and we all seen the repairs, falling windows & crains as evidence of all this.
Skills out the window, tests all dumbed down.
Some crew foreman saying "that's good enough to pass" "that's acceptable" Move On CHOP CHOP!
Union labor is now shit, the Mexicans who cant read or write do better work, and work harder.
The talented and people who are actually willing to work (and do work to be proud of) even pay their own insurance are locked out.
These people should not be locked out and the owner should have a choice on who they must hire without City Hall Gunpoint.
Count yourselves lucky renter-sheeple. If Amazon moved in to LIC, that affordable studio would be $4000 a month, and full of hipster tech bros.
The wonderful thing about the free market economy, is that developers can build whatever the want wherever they want. Suck lemons Marxists!!!
"Full of hipster tech bros" Yes creating good Jobs and paying taxes !

But I see you said nothing about about greedy companies, CEO's, hedgefund dicks pushing paper, overpaid sports and celebrity folks like Sean Hannity, the 1%. They make millions and millions, some billions, while the average person has not had a decent raise in decades, while everything around them got super expensive. But blame unions.
