@NYC4US, I don't have a studio so I'm sorry I can't help with that. Heat and water are included in the tent. You have to pay for electricity. The stove is electric, and there's a heater/AC combo is each unit.
@roscojenkins789, it took about two or so weeks for me to hear whether I was approved by HPD, but that could've been because the realtor wasn't on top of things/taking a long time to follow up.
Thank you. My file was sent to the city last week Friday, so I’m still waiting.
@NYC4US I was approved in two weeks but there was still some time before I moved in. I went to see the unit and after that, I was given a month to move in (I personally had a shorter time to move in because I was traveling and they couldn't give me an extension). And other than my bedroom furniture, I don't have furniture either! So I'm saving/shopping too.
@roscoejenkins789 I was told I was going to hear whether I was approved in a week. When I didn't hear anything, I had to follow up with the realtor (I was advised to do so from a friend who was already in the building). Don't be afraid to follow up/be on top of the realtor if you haven't heard anything.

Thank you for all the info.
i am saving now
i dont want to use credit to buy stuff so i have to save up.
i just paid off 4k debt and i'm not interested in paying that again
also do you know if the gym is free or paid ? lol
That's yearly. And if you think of it in monthly payments, which would be around $34 a month, that is how much some people pay for a monthly gym membership, but for that same amount of money, you also get access to two lounges and two outdoor spaces

yeah that's worth it then 400 a year is nothing
I will do it.
my file is sent to the city and alvista sent me the rent report but not credit ?
is it true credit is checked after approval instead ?
NYC4US, I received my rental report via email the beginning of this month 6/7 to be exact and I didn’t receive anything solely pertaining to only my credit to this date. And I finished the process.
it’s been a while since I last wrote on this forum, It’s been such an exhausting/excruciating experience waiting for this moment! I’m happy to say after suffering and waiting anxiously for months on end lol, I am... FINALLY MOVING IN!!!!

On 6/17/2019 my file was sent out for city approval
I heard back on: 6/21 that I was approved by the city (super quick!) it was an email congratulating me on city approval!

thank you citygirl
this is perfect and really good to know. just wish i knew how big or small the studios are since i have a big a@@ tv and a home theater but i can manage with small space but not too small.
the lady who's doing my file sent it to the city and got the report already only showed the credits have and nothing else.
hope mine is that quick since tomorrow will be the third day.
i only want the gym. i will be home mostly after work and the rest i won't be there.
that first security month will be a pain to pay since i need to buy furnitures. my rent will be 1593 but i have credit so it's ok.i can manage.
my log was 20k and they are calling 4000 people per day
so dont give up

I emailed him like you said and I got the approval yesterday. Thank you so much. My husband is going to view it tomorrow and we’re hoping for a move in date the first week of july
