Oh wait. Never mind. Anyways I applied for 1133 Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY. My log number is 34,395. How did you know when are you going to get the apartment? I really want to move there so badly.

If you click search, you are taken to a table that lists all the open/closed/pending applications.
One of the columns is for the log #
If you applied and they assigned numbers it would be there

Thanks for your response, Pezme!

My log# is 34, 395. I applied for this housing 1133 Manhattan Avenue. I hope that the developer will contact me. Crossed my finger and hoped to get contacted by the developer.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but with a log number in the 34k range, your chances of getting called are probably slim.

Granted I'm not 100% sure but what I read elsewhere they start from 1 and generally dont get past 3k unless it's to fill CB preference.

Good luck either way

So apparently ~60k people applied for this housing lottery. Biggest one to date according to city officials

Nearly 60,000 people apply for 105 affordable units in Greenpoint building - NY Daily News

Shibuki, you will definitely not get called back. Keep applying for other lotteries.

I got called back from a lottery I applied for about a year ago and my log number was 1559. I doubt we'll get it because they'd prefer to give the unit we want to someone with a community board preference. But we were offered other units and turned them down.

If your number is under 3000 you have a good chance of getting called back. Everyone else, give up hope now.
