I'm 2xxx with CB pref, and I've just been left a message on housing connect.nyc.gov that my "application has been reached for further processing." No email.
I need to upload documents by 3/31 -- full text below.
Exactly what does this mean in terms of apartments in this building? Does it mean that if I meet the income criteria, I'm in? Or nothing nearly that final?
Also, anyone else have this message when they check housingconnect?

Congrats! You're past the first hurdle! It depends on the # apartments available and how many people they call at a time which seems to be different for each marketing company. There's still a few steps left. Once they approve your docs they'll send them to HDC for further approval. Of the people in that round that get approved, people get the apartments going from lowest lottery number (first for each of the preferences and then for everyone else) until they fill up. They don't send that out to everyone, so you have a good chance once you're contacted if you end up qualifying, but not a guarantee yet since other people will also qualify and you don’t yet know what other #s they've called.

Can you tell us what docs they requested? I have a low log number, no pref and want to be ready just in case!
You have to provide everything that applies to you (info on children, self-employment etc.). Once you submit the first round of documents they may ask you for additional documentation such as a letter clarifying Venmo deposits or anything else unusual about your situation like not having a formal lease at your current apartment etc.

Thank you; I have all of this. I was just double checking on the Charlton building specifically.

OK, my list looks like this; I don't know if this is standard or not. Got some questions for the honchos too, which I'll ask in a separate post:
Required documentation
An estimated projection of your NET self-employment income (gross income minus expenses) for the next 12 months. CPA letter or tax preparer statement on letterhead, or notarized self-statement. Copies of expenses, receipts, and other backup documentation may be required.

Copies of school letters verifying enrollment for all adult (18 years or older) household members attending school (examples: college, university, training programs)
Copies of Social Security cards or Tax ID (ITIN) for each person in the household

Question for the Honchos around here: do they expect me to do my 2021 taxes early just for them, or what? My 2020 taxes won't even be close to the right amount, but 2021's will be. Of course I do have all 1099s etc.
Further question: Do I understand correctly that 421-a apartments are for 35 years, and then expire, and cannot be passed on to children beyond that period? I ask because we currently have a rent-stabilized apartment that we do plan to possibly pass off to our kid, a young adult. Could we possibly pass the current apartment on to him, and take the new one for ourselves?

Well, I don't want to waste your time answering half of that -- I see from https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/hpd/down...fact-sheet.pdf
that "tenants holding a lease and living in a 421-a income-restricted units at the
expiration of the 35-year period have the right to remain as rent stabilized tenants for
as long as they live there."
That sounds like rent stabilization lasts for life. But I still have the question about whether you can pass the stabilized unit to your child and whether it would remain stabilized in that event -- as you can with a normal stabilized apartment (as I understand).
I have been assigned a low log number for this and meanwhile, I am invited to see another housing connect apartment in queens. Should I wait for this and reject that or not. I am afraid I would get rejected for this if I accept the other place. Any thoughts!

What size apt do you want at Charlton? What is your log number and AMI? Charlton has very few units.
