Thanks in advance to anyone with more info to provide
I live a few blocks from this building. I passed it a few days ago and it looks completed but empty. However, they could be finishing up a few more things before it's move in ready. I know a few weeks ago there was still scaffolding up (around Feb/March). I'll take a walk by on my way home to see if it looks like lights are on in any apartments.

Default Elliot J. Hobbs Lottery

Hello everyone, I've been following this and the Hunter's Point lottery for some time but never commented. Thank you all for the insight into the process that you've provided. I was interviewed for elliot j. Hobbs on April 6th by the same Santiago. Santiago emailed interview letters at 4:30 pm on Thursday April 2nd for an interview on Monday morning. Why wasn't he surprised when so many people didn't have all of the required documents. Anyway, his list of required documents that he emailed asked for the 2013 tax return and w2's, Once at the interview he asks for 2014 I informed him that your letter asks for 2013 only. I emailed the 2014 that afternoon once I picked up from my accountants office and a different form which was given for the first time at the interview which was a landlord verification form. The interview email asks for a letter from the landlord now he would like to have this verification form instead. I emailed to my management place at some copy and fax center I found on Jamaica avenue. Before leaving, I asked Santiago when would I hear back about a decision. I was told 3-4 weeks by mail.

In the meantime, I have emailed to make sure all of my documents were received, no replies. And I have called and left voice messages with no call back. Which is ok, I understand they are very busy. But today I receive an email stating that I have 5 days to turn in my 2014 tax return and landlord verification form. What pisses me off is that the letter that was emailed is addressed to someone else so I'm not sure if I am missing these documents or she is and secondly if someone had responded in the last month I could have already rectified this . The letter says fax, mail or email required documents. But I'd feel better if I could drop them off in person which I asked in reply, let's see if I get a response before I show up there.

hey guys your responses have been very helpful over the past couple of months when i felt like this listing was dead after no one was hearing back. From what i've learned from someone working at the site they've recently (march) stopped construction and were waiting of inspections. Has anyone gotten some clarity on when this would me move in ready?

thank you in advance

From what I saw on the department of buildings website last week this site just obtained the certificate of occupancy on 05/14. Not sure how long it will be now before they start contacting people

I had my appointment yesterday to drop off documentation. Santiago said 15 individuals have been approved already to move in, and he is making it his personal goal to have everyone moved in by June 30th.
