HPD already has my paperwork. I called the number and was verbally told. HPD process is faster than the rest of the process correct? Its just been two weeks already since HPD has had my paperwork. My lease is up July 27. Just would love to know my fate? I got approved completely by BG. HPD has my paperwork. I am wondering how long until I sign my lease and can move in is my question to the ones that have gone through the process? Once HPD has your paperwork?

It really does vary, but in my experience and the experience of others in this thread, HPD really does move the fastest in this process. I think it took HPD two or three weeks to approve my file. The thing is that you would think BG would contact you to tell you when your file is approved by HPD, but usually they don't do that unless you call/email to ask. Once your file is approved you do have to go in to sign one more paper with BG again certifying your income and household composition. It's one page and just confirmation of information you provided previously. You have to sign that just before or after you sign your lease and lately BG has been calling people for that purpose.

Anyway, short answer: Figure it's about two or three weeks for HPD approval, then maybe another two or three weeks before the landlord calls you to sign the lease. BUT again, that is just a guess, it really does vary. Still, there is a chance you'll make it through the process before your lease is up. All you can do is call or email BG to ask them if your file has been approved by HPD, then you just have to wait to hear from the landlord.

If you don't get approved before your lease is up, you'll just have to stall your current landlord in terms of signing a renewal lease.

Best of luck to you !

The moment you get approval from hpd, contact JDS. Tell them your lease is up and you’d like to move in ASAP. That’s what I did and they were responsive, really nice, and made sure I moved in before my lease was up. After I already moved in I was getting emails from building management to schedule my move in date, so JDS definitely helped push things along.

no, you don't need it. You can put the TV package on the hotel cart. Everything can be fitted in the cart, you don't need shipping company.

How is everyone's day so far. I'm loving my place. Yes. The walls are paper thin but maybe we need rugs? I hear blinds being opened as well. People can probably hear mines. I make sure to open mine at a reasonable time though. Itsha congrats! Everyone is so nice. I love it. So refreshing!

Is anyone currently living in a 2 bedroom? If so can you describe how it looks. I was selected for a 2 bedroom and now I’m waiting for BG to get back to me. I submitted all my paperwork. I called a few times to follow up however no one answers. The lady told me during the interview that the process should take a month. Although it hasnt been a month yet I’m dying inside. Any information about the building will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
