As far as I know, it is automatic disqualified for any property owner. May be someone has some tricks to work around that. We'll never know.

Congratulations SobroGuy. Are you leaving south Bronx soon? Wish you can update your profile picture without the housing project in front of your living room window.

SobroGuy is just trying to give advice without giving himself away. SobroGuy is really Mike Bloomberg's pseudonym. . He always has all the info on housing developements and revitalization plans. He always approves of all the Mayors plans, and knows exactly how everything operates in the plan.

While I don't always agree with his opinion, I have to say his info is usually correct.

last year I applied for 1 bedroom apt with my fiancee ( she is in different country things didn't work out , she didn't get the visa and we decided to split, we are no longer together) . I have a Interview friday and if i do it myself as 1 person i would be over the income is there a chance i could still get it if I show proof from immigration that we wanted to get married but it didn't work out, and is it possible i could add my brother to that apt ?

While not a direct answer to your query the following does give insight to the process: What the luck? Quinn aide approved for coveted apartment | New York Post


“Danielle’s application was done in an entirely honest, forthcoming manner and any allegation stating otherwise is nothing more than a malicious attack on a dedicated, hardworking New Yorker,” a City Council spokeswoman said.
The lottery was conducted by third-party marketing agents hired by the developer.
An HPD spokesman said that out of 29,610 applications, DeCerbo’s application was picked at No. 728.
Since 48 applicants ahead of her were disqualified for not meeting income requirements, DeCerbo’s lucky number rose up the list and landed her one of the 682 pads."

One takes this to mean that applications are vetted for certain criteria first, those meeting those goals go to the next level and so forth.

Congratulations! Could you share how many months of bank statements were requested and any other specifics. Thank you!
