I have a low single digit # for a site with 24 apartments and was just told there are no apartments left in my income bracket. This is a joke. Of the 24 units 5 were my income bracket.

Also were there special preferences for the building? Sometimes they set aside units in certain brackets for specific preferences

Outranked by preferences?

It has been posted here that even if a lottery does not say it has the two Mobility, and Hearing/Vision Disability Preferences published in the notice those preference categories still apply.
Also, Community Board, and Municipal Employee preferences can be part of a lottery. Applicants with preference(s) go ahead of log#s lower than theirs without preferences. It’s not hard to imagine a lottery with 100,000 applicants. It’s possible for person with log# 1 and have many applications ahead of theirs due to preferences.

How many persons are in your household? What portion of the 24 units require a household size that does not match your household size? If the portion is greater than zero, effectively there are less than 24 units available to you even if you meet the income bracket.
Estimates if the lottery used CB preference, and you didn’t have it nor any other preference:
12 units for CB preference. 1 or 2 units (not sure) for Mobility pref; 1 unit for Vision/Hearing pref; 1 or 2 units (not sure) for Municipal Employee pref. 15 to 17 units for preferences. Leaving 7-9 units for low log#s without any preferences.
Given the small number of units, 24, maybe you should request an audit. If something went wrong, it might not take much work to discover it. Is the public entitled to demand to know what log#s prevailed?
Great breakdown. I am going to speak to someone. I also have city employee preference. 5 of the 24 meet my income range and for this particular building there was 50% allotted to CB. So just as a back story, I worked on a lottery when I was in University. We were made to put clients who had bankruptcies in their credit file or anything derogatory to the back of the pile. This was at a time when it was all paper. I am very well aware of corruption in the housing process. Until someone shows me how all of the apartments have been filed, I call BS. It is still happening, it’s not difficult to do even now when everything is automated.
