Hey dropping back onto this forum with some questions. So I recently switch jobs from my currently employer to the LIRR which is under the MTA. Would I get a municipal preference if I were to be called for an interview? Also has anyone with log #s in the high 60ks get called yet with a CB preference? I'm getting anxious now , I might superpass my income limit once I'm done with training at my new job by the end of year and would fall into the more expensive upper middle rent guidelines if I were to be called later on.

Congrats on the new job - however, MTA is a state agency and I doubt that will qualify you for municipal preference. But if I am wrong about that, I am not sure about your question. I also got a new job, with the city, in the time between submitting my application and getting called in for an interview. I flagged this to MHANY at the interview but they didn't say anything about it changing my preference status.

thanks for all the really REALLY nice replies to my little dilemma. means a lot, even on an anonymous message board like this.
Re: my dog and the dog walking.. Well, honestly, I used to have a dog that I would walk before I left in the morning for work and when I came home around 6pm and it was fine. I moved into a two bedroom years ago and have a roommate who has always had dogs and he insists on having a dog walker, and I can't have a dog walker just walk his and not mine? So we split the bill and it's been natural. This is my second dog here, his as well since i've lived here. If anything, I can use my lunch hour to take the express train to let the dog out for a leak and then head back to work, which wouldn't be much more than an hour. I never even considered that until your reply.
I recently got an e-mail for this lottery to arrange an interview. I'm waiting on another lottery where I'm further along. My log # is about 3x,xxx but I'm in a preference group. I looked at the layouts for this building yesterday. I like the washer/dryer in the unit. I'm glad they actually give dimensions of the rooms in the floor plans. I wish other properties would follow suit. Not sure if I like living on top of the Barclay Center. So I'm debating on going for it. I dread the application process and I'm a little over the income range (and I mean little).
I do feel blessed that I was contacted.

It looks like the set of the Teletubbies (look it up) from those views. You will NOT not like it!!!!! GO FOR IT! I do wonder about the sound and stuff?! It does get rowdy there for concerts and sports stuff I think, but it's worth it for a nice apartment that is affordable. Or not. ?! I guess it depends on you preference. Hells, I would totally live in Times Square if it was cheap lol.

I think you should go for it, but you know if you are over the income range by $2 they will reject you. these people are so strict they do not leave room for anyone to go over. which i think is very very unfair. but we have to play by their rules to win this lottery. SAD.
It depends on the developer (marketing agent). More are beginning to use email to communicate with applicants, which makes this arduous process much easier. You could call and find out what they use. Just because you put email on your application as your preferred contact method, doesn't guarantee they won't contact you through the mail.
If your previous contact with them was through email, that's what they'll likely use to accept or reject you. I can tell you that once all your documents are in, and they've accepted your money order for the credit check, no news is good news. It means so far, so good, but that things are at a standstill for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Rejections come quickly. If the marketing agent has a question about something in your file, you'll be called on the phone. Every marketing agent does things a bit differently. You might be called in to sign permissions to release your tax records, your bank statements, etc. Every move you make is verified. Some do this at the first interview, some do it later. It varies. Good luck.
