It was mentioned on greenpointlottery.com that your rent is stabilized and increases a percentage each year as well, but for some reason the website no longer works.

Yes I heard that as well (about the percentage increase each year) - how much did your daughter's grandmother's rent increase by if I may ask?

It depends on the city, sometimes it’s 1% or 2% o 3% sometimes 0%.

You can use any amenities in your building, some require fees. You have the same rights as market-rate people. There is no question about that.

This building is an exception though. To those who will get their units on 27 Eagle won't have any access to the amenities. They will only get a complimentary of using the gym & event space that will be available within their building. Only those who get units on 227 West will have an access to the amenities along with their fellow MR tenants on 1 Eagle with paying a membership fee, if I'm not mistaken $275/mo not including swimming pool.

These are clearly mentioned on the lottery page: https://housingconnect.nyc.gov/PublicWeb/details/3007

I don't think anyone has yet - their office is closed until October 19th. Good luck to you!! I'm log 12xxx.

Same to you! Is it multiple agents working on the logs or is it one at a time?

I actually don't remember but it was under 10%. I would have to ask her, but it varies from development if I'm not mistaken. The main thing that caught my eye was that it's a set percentage.
