There is no CB preference shown in the listing. Some lotteries use the CB and others don’t. There is a complex explanation why which I am not going to go into.
There is no Disability Preference listed either. However, some posters to this forum say that they exist even if not shown on the listing. I can’t claim to know if this is certain. However, below is a copy paste from the Handbook which suggests that it is true under Section 504 in many circumstances. I added the bold.
5-1 Set-Asides and Preferences
A. DISABILITY SET-ASIDES
1. All City-assisted projects must comply with the accessibility requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Section 504 requires that, for projects involving the new construction of housing containing five or more dwelling units and for projects involving the substantial alteration of housing containing 15 or more dwelling units,
a minimum of five percent of units in the Project must be accessible and set aside for households with a person with a mobility disability (“Mobility Disability Set-Aside Units”). An additional minimum of two percent of units must be set aside for households with a person with a hearing or vision disability (“Hearing/Vision Disability Set- Aside Units”). See the HPD Design Guidelines for more information, available at nyc.gov/hpd.
2. Marketing Agents must make the Mobility Disability Set-Aside Units (five percent of units in the Project or one unit, whichever is greater) available first to any applicants with mobility disabilities.
3. Marketing Agents must make the Hearing/Vision Set-Aside Units (two percent of units in the Project or one unit, whichever is greater) available first to any applicants with hearing and/or vision disabilities.
4. When processing applicants for disability set-asides, New York City residents must be processed before non-residents. If there are insufficient New York City residents to meet the set-aside requirement, the Marketing Agent may then process non-residents to fulfill the set-aside requirement.
