A new affordable housing lottery opened today for 16 units in a recently constructed Greenpoint building.
The lottery for 848 Lorimer St., located directly across from McCarren Park, has studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms available. Studios start at $1,114 per month and two-bedrooms go up to $2,684 per month.
The six-story building is outfitted with a gym, garden, two roof decks, a business center, lounge, and a commercial-sized washer/dryer in cellar. Storage lockers, parking, and bike parking are all available for an additional fee.
Four studios are up for grabs, with one available for $1,114 to individuals making between $45,086 and $58,480. The remaining three are priced at $1,770 and are available to individuals earning between $60,651 and $95,030.
The majority of the available units are one-bedrooms, with nine apartments in the lottery. Two of the units will cost $1,119 per month and are available to individuals with a salary between $48,000 and $58,480, and households of two earning between $48,000 and $66,800.
The remaining seven one-bedroom apartments are $2,226 per month and will go to individuals making between $76,320 and $95,050. Households of two that earn between $76,320 and $108,550 are also eligible.
Three two-bedroom units are available to households of two, three or four people. One of the units is priced at $1,345, with eligible salaries starting at $57,531 and going up to $83,440. The remaining two units are going for $2,226 per month and will be given to households earning between $92,023 and $135,590.
All rent prices include gas for cooking, but tenants will be responsible for all other utilities.
While the units will be awarded to qualified applicants in a lottery system, some preference will be given to city employees, residents of Community Board 1, and those with hearing, vision and mobility disabilities. The deadline to apply is May 14.
