Not at all. A friend of mine told me about his experience with the affordable housing where his log number is under 10, and the developer was trying to brush him off the list by telling him that he has to bring documents in on the same day that they call him.
All information regarding apartment waiting lists should be public and monitored. Online access should be available. In a case where a waiting list is opened, we should know exactly how many people are on the current waiting list for the apartments. That way, we can easily determine if its worth the waiting time and expense. I feel that a lot of these developments often open new wait list in order to collect the $200 fee.
Yeah, I'm still wondering why I was called in to submit paperwork for one development only for them to tell me literally a week later that there aren't anymore apartments for my income level.
I'm on the waitlist for a building. At my interview I was told there were 2 apartments available and 1 currently occupied but the person was moving out at the end of the month. There were 2 people ahead of me. This was in February and everytime I contact them they keep saying they're processing applications for the people ahead of me. Or the supervisor would say my worker was out of the office. Just so many excuses I feel like there's something shady going on. Why is it taking so long to process 2 applications? Or maybe I'm paranoid I don't know...
The article was about Mitchell-Lama units only. The DHCR does NOTHING for tenants, they are all about getting out of the M-L program and you have no idea of the abuses they allowed. Knickerbocker had so many vacant units that that ****ty little article isn't the tip of the iceberg. It had nothing to do with Hurricane Sandy and everything to do with sitting and watching what happened at SBT because Knickerbocker was next in line.
The M-L waiting lists were online and you could check your position on the lists, but that didn't stop them slipping people in that were never on the list. So if the list numbers didn't move, who would know? They definitely skipped people making internal transfers whose philosophy didn't jibe with their own.
Warehousing empty apartments during a conversion is not legal because every empty is an apartment the landlord can use as a vote for their agenda.
But DiNapoli did an audit last year and found the same things. That's why they implemented the website as part of the process among other changes. Are there any consequences for their actions? Or are they just going to keep auditing?

Unless these people moved out of state and management really wants to find them I would think something shady is going on. Sorry, that really sucks.

Probably more audits to focus on different buildings.
