I mean I would've withdraw my application had I know about the process more or the agent was more forthcoming. I was only offered a unit after HPD approval and without a viewing or a say in the apartment.

Now that you know you've made it to HPD approval with a different building i'd remain real positive and patient with this building.

Did you sign a one year lease with OBS? If so, i can see why it may be nerve wrecking as your lease may be up soon
Yes, I signed a one year lease and hoping the timing works out for when it’s ends!
Need to withdraw from approval from Astor as the more i think about the location it’s not the best and probably won’t be built up for a few more years.

Hoping that even thought I was approved by HBD and withdraw my application it won’t effect OBS approval.

It won't affect your application with OBS. Rejecting or withdrawing just gives the agent the green light to proceed with the next log#.

Good to know! Thanks for all the insight!

Hopefully these agents will respond to my email soon.

You should be hearing from there soon. I believe there's only two agents handling the lottery.

Good luck
Oh…I was offered either 5D or 7D, I chose 7D and was told that there’s no more upper floors available.

Nice and congrats! Once the unit it assigned - they'll prepare your file for HPD approval.

You have a lower log # than i do as to why it wasn't available for me. I wasn't offered 7D.
Just 5D, 28/29D and the two E units.

Congrats guys! Hope y'all enjoy.

Can anyone provide a link to One Blue Slip? Curious to see what it looks like. I only have the Two Blue Slip link which also looks very nice.
