that is a huge fear seeing a place, submitting tons of documents... just to be denied , i hope all goes well with you and glad to hear how on top of everything you are!

Oh no I *declined* the apartment as in I said no to signing a lease that I was offered. With that building they didn't have you come in to view until after you were fully approved by the agency and HPD. I said no because I was then contacted by this building which I preferred the amenities and location.

But thank you, you have to be with this process! Good luck to you as well, I hope you're able to get an apartment that's great for you!

Ive lost count of how many rounds of docs I'm on! I've submitted the same documents several times. It's very frustrating but I'm not giving up because I really like this area and apartment. I feel like in the past they kept asking me for the same docs over and over again to wear me down and it eventually worked. This time, I'm like, you want me to send my current lease for the 6th time....fine!

Honestly, thanks so much for sharing that because at least I’m not alone! Same, I’ve submitted my retirement account statements to them at least 3 different times and there hasn’t even been enough time passed for a more recent one to be out, literally the exact same one. My last email was very passive aggressive, I’m hoping I’ve made it clear I’m not going away so they can just go ahead and approve me for goodness sake! We will get through this!

they didn't give me a definitive date - they just told me that after you sign the affidavit they will do a final review and request additional documentation if needed. then only after the final review is complete will they send to the city.. so i guess it depends but they also said that you can tell that the final review from their end is complete once our documents are uploaded to HC by them

I know this is a bit random but does anyone know at what floor view facing the Barclay do you begin to see over the Barclay grass? i heard of units that were basically 4th and 5th floor and no view at all..... i was assuming over 12th? to start seeing over the Barclay roof?
