Brooklynites looking to escape
the borough’s brutal
housing market — but not the
borough — have until Sept.
13 to enter a lottery for a new
Crown Heights development’s
so-called “affordable housing”
component.
The newly constructed
nine-story apartment building
— located at 1336 Bedford
Ave., between Dean and
Pacifi c streets — features 93
affordable units offered at
monthly rents between $590
and $3,060 that are available
to lucky lotto winners with annual
incomes between $22,800
and $204,270.
Would-be renters are categorized
based on the size of
their family, their annual salaries,
and how those earnings
relate to the city’s median income
— a citywide fi gure that
pegs the average income of a
three-person family at $96,100
per year.
The building contains:
• 10 units available for tenants
earning 40 percent median
income — between $22,800
and $49,530
• 9 units available for tenants
earning 50 percent median
income — between $28,938
and $61,900
• 28 units available for tenants
earning 100 percent median
income — between $49,200
and $123,800
• 64 units available for tenants
earning 165 percent median
income — between $76,629
and $204,270
The lowest-earning group
includes six one-bedroom
apartments for $590 monthly,
three two-bedroom apartments
for $718 monthly, and
one three-bedroom apartment
for $821 monthly.
The next income-bracket
up offers fi ve one-bedroom
units and three two-bedroom
units for $796 and $933 permonth,
respectively. The remaining
75 units demand
monthly prices between $1,069
and $3,060.
The development is part of
the New York City Housing Development
Corporation’s Mixed
Middle-Income program —
which offers government-subsidized
rents at private developments
to make them available
for lower-income residents.
Under program rules , half
of the available units must be
allotted to current residents of
Community Board 8 — which
includes Crown Heights and
Prospect Heights. An additional
seven percent of units
are reserved for those with disabilities.
