Oh cool! I literally just saw this in the portal and came here to tell everyone.

Does anyone know anything about the floorplans or the townhouses? They sound interesting.

Apparently they had three to five feet of water during Hurricane Sandy and are in the worst flood zone. But that didn’t stop me from applying!

But the coop took steps to prevent flooding in the event of a similar storm:

@ shady
Yes I was wondering about the
townhouse lay out too. I learned from losing
Out on penn south that I can apply for more than 1
Unit as long as my family composition allows for it.
I hope some of your luck rubs off on me

@macnyc
Yes I googled that article too.. hopefully everything
Is ironed out by the time we get in

[nobodysbusiness]

What is ". . . the proper family composition?"

[Lexxie88]

@ nobody
On the application for a townhouse up to 3 people can be in the family
For a 2 bedroom u need a minimum of 3 people
So technically a person that has 3 people in the family can apply for a 2 bedroom and a townhouse
Click on the below link and read what it says regarding persons in household.. I hadn’t actually looked at that fine print until recently

I was also wondering about the same development.
Has anyone lived in this building? If so, what has been the experience?
I found a yelp review on the building of someone complaining of poor maintenance conditions. So i am wondering its worth it.

I've never applied to any Mitchell-Lama lotteries before. This was the first time I've ever seen one available on there.
Any who, I applied to all three available. Is that okay?

[randomperson2]

If you qualify, yes. However, if you are chosen for more than one lottery, you must pick only one waiting list to be on.

Hey randomperson2, I started a new forum for MLs and the like. Mimilove and others are there: https://nychousing.createaforum.com/index.php

The mods on this forum are putting all affordable housing threads into one big confusing master thread.
