Will your application go to HPD/HDC if no unit is available? (Hope: to rent, home)

Thank you @macnyc2003, @Jayinbk, @90sSitcom and @stormgal for the clarification. I’ve received some paperwork I had previously signed off on from my agent again, and noticed that this time, they had a unit number on them. I guess I have to wait and see if they get uploaded to Housing Connect to know if the city has them. I appreciate the feedback.
@macnyc2003 thank you for confirming this. I thought they approve multiple families per unit just in case the lowest log number falls through. But I’m guessing the agency just has a file ready to send to HPD for approval in case that happens?
I thought this same thing as well. Knowing the answer now makes the process a little easier to bear.
@stormgal thank you for your feedback. I’m confused now lol. So HPD DOES in fact approve multiple people for the same unit? The agencies just manage who’s on hold while the lower numbers try for the apartments and accept or reject it?

No, it’s the management agency that approves multiple people for the same unit, not the city. That’s what she said. The city doesn’t approve multiple people for the same unit because the management agency can’t send over multiple applications for the same unit - they only send the first qualifying applicant with the lowest log number. Then, if that applicant turns down the offer or is rejected, the management agency puts the unit number on the next qualifying applicant’s TIC (from the applications they have on hold) and sends that application over, and so on.

So basically even though I viewed the apartment and was assigned the unit number, someone else could of viewed it too and is waiting for an approval?
I’m not sure if others would see the unit unless you decline the unit or got rejected by HPD. But some buildings do seem (from other conversations I’ve seen here on this site) to see that they show units to people before sending to HPD. Not quite sure if it’s the same across the board. The building I’m going for needed to get us approved from HPD before we were offered a unit. But I do see other projects don’t do it that way. What I gather from above is that only one perspective tenant is approved by HPD for a unit. Regardless if others see the unit or not.

From how I’m understanding now, if your paperwork (TIC file) has the unit number on it and was sent to the city, the unit is yours. The management would not send your file to the city unless you qualified for the unit listed and it was available for you upon approval, with no one in front of you.

Thank you for the info ! I’m now understanding it more ☺️

You viewed the unit but you do not now occupy the unit. The owners can show it to other people because it’s not yours yet. This is still true if the unit will be yours pending final approval or pending your signature on the lease.
It might be different if you put down a deposit or something.
The City might STILL BE ABLE REJECT YOU. They get to make the decision that is why they are sent paperwork. But you can appeal if you are rejected. However, a rejection is unlikely because the agent has no interest is sending flawed applications to the City.
Once you sign a lease even the police can’t come in without a warrant or an emergency unless you consent.
These are my views.
