There is an official timeline, but most often, it's disrupted by one thing or another.
Construction delays cause the most problems. If the building doesn't get its certificate of occupancy on time, it throws the whole process out of whack.
Other issues crop up too. In one case recently, the city withheld the developer's tax abatement, and the developer sued.
You can imagine what delays that caused for everyone anxiously waiting!
Here is the official timeline, published in the Marketing Guidelines. Turn to page 7.
As you can see, it's all based on date of occupancy.
For anyone involved in this process, I recommend downloading the the PDF and reading it!
For a friend of mine who was called for a building in 2015, it was pretty fast. She received a letter and email in late May, interviewed a week or two later, and she signed a lease Sept. 1. She had community board preference.
But many people wait much much longer.
Ps: I appreciate how well versed you are on the subject !
Did you win a lottery ?
The studio list has moved 84 places! It also looks like they cleared out some of the pre-2014 waitlisters. There are now about 90 people from 1978-2014 on the list.
the 1-Bedroom apartment with a balcony list has moved 38 places. there are 113 people on the list., not counting applications that are inactive. There are 94 'active' people on the list from 2014 lottery.
how many people are waiting for 1-Bedroom apartment (no balcony)?
Anyone following this thread who already lives in the building? What appliances do you have?
I recently saw my unit, and it has market rate appliances, not the Whirlpool stainless appliances from the pics in the other thread. Definitely not complaining! Just not what I expected. I am in the 120% AMI bracket so maybe that’s why?
I also asked about switching units and it sounds like it’s basically impossible unless it’s for health/accessibility reasons. FYI

Why do you wanna switch your unit? If you have a market rate unit, you better snag it
