Does anyone know the story on these apartments.
River Cross is a huge complex of terraced apartments that run from the East River to First Avenue and about six blocks North of East 99th pr East 100th. The apartments look nice, terraces often do, but the people give off vibes of poor with piles of junk heaped on the terraces and what seems to be terrible maintenance all-round.

Is it NYCHA, Mitchell-Lama co-op, Mitchell-Lama rental, 80/20, market rate, or something else.
I tried Googling some info but didn't find much except complaints, one tenant moaning about a $3000 rental/subrental she had gotten off Cragslist another complaining about break-ins.

Anyone with knowledge or experience about the place?

A notorious den of thieves, smugglers and heretics.

Probably one of the private(corporate) low income housing projects subsidized by the Feds.

Those are the ones's I saw and were starring at as I ran the marathon, trying to figure out what they were. All I know is on every building of the east river crossing buildings next to them their were cops on all the roof tops.

At first blush they look pretty classy, don't they? But the clientele tells another story.
They are across the street from METRO NORTH which is NYCHA.

Bluedog,
I haven't heard of them. Do they go by any particular moniker? Do you mean sort of a subset of Mitchell Lama.

Come to think about it, even Newport in Jersey City got HUD money and as a result had to abide by certain constraints.

Pretty cool that they have a parking garage at FDR Drive and E 102 Street. Wonder how flooded it got during Sandy.

We walked Northeast to the "River" at the end of Sandy although it was still stormy, and the water line was to Second Avenue. The CVS right across from River Cross on the Western side of First Avenue was flooded and closed for a month.

So I'm sure River Cross took on a LOT of water.

Such a shame, they could be such nice apartments. However I don't know who is crazy enough to pay market rate to live there. Even nycha prices, i'd have to think hard about it.

yep. river views. the landscaping is nice, apartments are a decent size. they've renovated certain parts of it. heard management is allegedly trying to get rid of the problematic tenants
