If you receive and respond to a request for documents, the marketing agent for that development then conducts a review to confirm that you are eligible. If the review finds that you do not meet the requirements for the development, you will receive a rejection notice. This notice will come to your email and appear on your NYC Housing Connect dashboard. The notice will explain why you were rejected.
If you believe that you were rejected from a lottery in error, follow the instructions in the rejection notice. Act quickly. The notice will tell you how many days you have to submit an appeal. You will submit your appeal and supporting documentation through Housing Connect.
If your appeal to the marketing agent is not successful, you will receive an appeal rejection notice, with an explanation. This notice arrives via email and on your NYC Housing Connect dashboard. If you still believe you were wrongly rejected, follow the instructions in the notice to submit a complaint, with documentation, to either HPD or HDC. The instructions will provide the correct contact information for that lottery.
Why am I seeing an error message when I try to submit my appeal?
Please try shortening the text you have included in "Reason for Appeal" textbox. You may include as many attachments as you'd like, but the appeal can only be submitted if the description in the "Reason for Appeal" textbox has fewer than 100 characters.
Anyone know if HPD approved the complaint and there's still units remaining, will the marketing agent review the documents again or just ask applicant to sign documents for HPD approval? Thank you!
What happens if your income is different by over $10k between W2s from the prior year and projected annual income based on paystubs? for example: I worked an unreal amount of overtime last year that bumped my annual income up a lot, but it's not something I can count on consistently. My W2/tax returns are in one AMI bracket for a building. My pay stub calculations fall down into a different bracket. Both calculations, that I can tell, would be eligible for units, just in different AMIs. In fact, with the higher W2 amount I'd qualify for different sized units across two AMIS, with the lower ones, I'd qualify for just one AMI (a total of three separate AMI brackets). Do they go with the highest (tax returns)?

Unlike mitchell lama which caps number of entries, I don't understand the point of accepting and assigning thousands upon thousands of entries.

My application goes from "applied" to "pending", which ( based on my search on this forum) could mean a lot of things from possibly being contacted shortly to no units available for your income, size, etc. Some people say they have been pending for months to years
I see units on Street Easy that I qualify for based on my household size.
What is the best way to find out what my particular 'pending' means for this building without ruffling
feathers?

Waiting to see what happens. The marketing agency is very unlikely to give you any information other than to say they are not to your log yet and will contact you if and when they get to you.
BTW what you see on streeteasy is totally irrelevant to what's going on with the lottery. Those are market rate units and have nothing to do with what's available in the lottery process.
Do affordable lottery re-rentals go on street easy?
I've seen listings there that mention program, income requirements, etc.

Many times the developers add lottery units in their unit mix to get the algo working to push them up.
When people are looking at the market rate units and see a huge disparity in prices they come rushing to apply and want the space. But then in the details, the listing will tell you that this is a lottery unit and apply to the website.
But most people do not know about the lottery and its a great marketing trick tbh to get so much commotion and traffic since the rents are quite low
