NYC Housing Department opens up lottery for luxury public housing condos

NY YIMBY

The affordable housing lottery has launched for The Jackson, a five-story mixed-use building at 35-64 85th Street in Jackson Heights, Queens. Designed by Angelo Ng + Anthony Ng Architects Studio and developed by Kelly’s Properties, the structure yields 40 residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are 12 units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $74,435 to $187,330.

 At 130 percent of the AMI, there are two studios with a monthly rent of $2,171 for incomes ranging from $74,435 to $138,840; five one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $2,327 for incomes ranging from $79,783 to $156,130; and five two-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $2,791 for incomes ranging from $95,692 to $187,330.

Usually it's proper journalistic procedure to show the header photo from the source article but the photo here I feel sums this up better. Because this aesthetically looks like a basement apartment.

A basement apartment with a balcony?

Sans balcony and floor to ceiling window door, I've seen basement apartments that looked like this back in the day. These "affordable" apartment buildings were built fast and cheap and it shows IMO.

Mayor Swagger wants to convert NYC offices to homes after workers are slow to return.
I guess Eric thinks the taxpayers should pay for it.
