I need to get out of finance. This banking job is not cutting it and I am clearly doing something wrong. I will PM you.

In the case of low income, it makes sense. Has anyone in moderate income been asked to recertify prior to lease signing, or informed that they would have to recertify at a later point?
yes we are in the moderate income bracket and will have to requalify within 120 days of move in

I'm sure if you switched jobs now, you might get a 10K or 15K salary increase, but not a 50K hike.

If a Starbucks cashier makes $10.00 an hour now and lands an office job as a receptionist, what is the likelihood that the cashier now makes 60K versus the 25K that a Starbucks cashier makes annually by working full time? No employer would give an individual that kinda pay increase based on prior pay and work experience.

HPS Applicant, I showed up at the building to speed up the process and was turned away. Just sent another follow up email today and no response. I was told 2 months ago to schedule an interview and to this day nothing. Everytime I inquire about scheduling an appointment, I get the same automatic response which leads to a bunch of nothing. Kinda like Bill Cosby and those allegations against him. Whenever asked to comment on the subject, he says something random and meaningless that amounts to a big pile of "nothing".
If you received the interview letter, you will see it has an address where to come in person to schedule the interview. It is nowhere near the buildings, this is why they turned you away. If you haven't scheduled an interview they have most probably skipped you and continued on to the next person in line. Best bet is to show up at the office (not onsite at the buildings) and schedule your interview. I waited three days for a callback and then decided to come down in person.

BRANDNEW, I received an email asking me to schedule an interview and everytime I provided dates and times, I'd get the run around. HPS initiated the email to me asking me to provide paystubs and tax returns and asking me to schedule a date and everytime I do, I get the automated response. Scheduling the interview was not the other way around.

Has nothing to do with the location of the interview. Not to mention the building has a big sign and arrow pointing to the leasing office with big letters that say "LEASING OFFICE ".

Hi,

I was wondering why the violations list the wrong address on DOB website for Hunter Point South Commons building? It says 49-10 VERNON BOULEVARD , L.I.C. , NY 11101, but the address should be 1-50 50th avenue, LIC. Is that the mailing address or what?

Hi Mimi 1555,
I don't think the log number matters. It may just be the number reflecting when your application was received. My number is in the 60,000s (I applied in November) and I just got called for an interview.
