Thanks, my number was 13XX. I did have to put in for an appeal though because they never received all my documents the first time. But I hounded them every week until I heard back yesterday. My only concern about moving here now is my dog. I know there is a lot of doggy daycares in the area but most of them don't open until 8 am and I work in the city as an RN and my shift begins at 7:30am so those places wont work for me. I am not trying to spend extra for pick up and drop off either. Hoping if I get it I meet a nice few people in the building who wouldn't mind switching off days with me to watch/walk their doggies while the other is at work
We should connect when you move in! I have a dog, too, and have to work in the city twice a week. Maybe we can take turns taking our dogs out?
Also, congrats on almost getting to the finish line of getting the apartment. I chose the R floorplan. You do have to choose one floorplan before you go on the tour and it'll be the only apartment you see. They will also give you a tour of all the amenities. Also, Sven confirmed that ALL utilities (electric, gas, water) are included in the rent which is a plus.
estee and zee, sounds good! My sister does dog watching with one of her neighbors who also has a dog and they switch off and I was like, wow! Think of how much money I can save if I did that!
Does anybody have any experience with closed bank accounts? Is there specific documentation that they want to see as I am unable to pull statements for them (given those accounts are closed).
I went to the old bank in person (in my case Chase) and they printed out my last bank statement showing a $0 balance that matched the date of the deposit on the new account. This was good enough for Sven!
If you don't mind me asking, how long did they give you to cancel your current lease and then figure out movers / the move-in date?
I was on a month to month before this and was on good terms with that landlord, so I gave them one month's notice and asked for flexibility if something fell through. Timing ended up working best for a July 1 move in. But they didn't send me my lease until two weeks before so that was quite stressful! They posed it as: I could move in as early as July 1st. So I imagine there would have been some flexibility if I needed it!
Re: dog walkers - I do not currently have a dog, but I live in Sunnyside right on Queens Blvd and there are at least 2 different dog walkers that come to my bldg between 6:30 and 7:00 AM every morning. In a building the size of Sven, I'm certain you will have options whether neighbors or established professional walkers in the immediate area.
Wow, that doesn’t sound fair, especially when they had you waiting for so long… is your case worker name start with an N?
Also, I would appeal again, you got this!
Yeah. N.
I can't even appeal at this point. I have to submit a complaint if I feel like my rejection was in error.
I don't know of anyone having to submit a complaint. So stressful. I qualify and I have consistently gotten stonewalled. Sigh.. going to submit a complaint but I really hate having to feel like I have to defend my case when I actually qualify.

Oh wow!! I’m sorry they are putting you through this, seems so unfair they rejected you for something like that. I hope you have success with the complaint, I’m not familiar with that process but fingers crossed you’re able to get through. Let us know how it goes if you can.
I submit my documents on 7/3. Log#23xx. My bets are signing a lease in Fall.
Not bad, thanks for the update!!
