I’m confused- how does this give someone preference? Don’t HC still need to go in log number order?
Yeah, if this is a case of someone helping their mate out then it is a serious ethical transgression and needs investigating! Really hoping that is not the case.

I read somewhere (can’t recall where maybe this forum) that the buildings need to report to HPD the status of all the log numbers as well so I don’t see how they can cheat the system. I’m obviously not on the back end of this but there has to be some audit in place
As I mentioned in my previous post, for the first time I got a very low number, 1xx (fingers crossed). So far have not been contacted. I have notice that the appliances on the market rate apartments and the one that is part of affordable house program is different. Is it regular practice?

It was actually in the handbook
1. The Marketing Agent must provide, on at least a bi-weekly basis during the resident selection process, a lottery log update to the Agency for review, indicating each applicant’s “selection status” – their status after eligibility review (for example, approved for unit, rejected for being over- income, applicant withdrew from lottery, etc.). This is to ensure that applicants are being processed in the proper order. The Marketing Agent may not submit to the Agency an applicant file when there are applicants with lower log numbers whose statuses have not been updated.

Honestly, given my experience with HPD, and what I have observed from this forum (some totally bonkers number-calling in some lotteries, that had no AMI or CB etc explanations) I get the impression that they are too understaffed o/ underpaid to do due diligence on this. It's BS! I agree the rule is there, it should be abided by.
I honestly think that the person who said that they were called is a troll. Until they can state who the marketing agency is on this building I will remain skeptical on the statement.
