Headed North to good supermarket on 101st. (Jumbo eggs 3/$5...Chobani yoghurt special: $.50, bought 10. Eastern potatoes 5 lbs/$1.25)
There's a brand new big building, quite nice that is just being moved into but the first floor is full of cabinets and counters so obviously not quite finished.
The location is quite good, at the corner of Second Ave and 99th Street (301 East 99th) directly opposite Metropolitan Hospital and 2 short blocks from what will be the northernmost entrance to the Second Avenue Subway (Q train) when finished.
It has projects across Second Ave (George Washington) but as projects go, they seem rather safe.
I caught someone sitting outside and tried to ply him for info. He said there's a temporary office in room 214 that is open during the week from 10-2. He confirmed what I had read that it was 100% affordable, but affordable is relative. I didn't ply him for income limits, but my guess is pretty low, but who knows.
On the side is the name PROCIDA with a phone number for information that I could not remember...I had no pen.
But their website has a number that you can probably use to get more info: Procida Companies - Home
Just a couple blocks North they are almost done building an 88 apartment affordable housing complex. Applications must be postmark by Nov 17th so not a lot of time left.
A lot of the apts in that building will be resettlement's for hospital patients.
So how does that work, SB?
Does Metropolitan Hospital discharge it's patients into affordable housing? Seems weird unless they are using it for hospice?
Does the hospital double as as a Social Service agency for the sick homeless population? That would be unique.
Is it possible that you are making an assumption based on the location of the housing?

I dont know how its going to work but that was the info that i read in real estate articles.
Located at East 99th Street and Second
Avenue adjacent to Metropolitan Hospital, this 10-story new affordable housing
project will include 176 one bedroom and studio apartments. This innovative
development is a result of collaboration between HHC, HPD, NYHCR, NYCHA and was
the first development in the New York State to utilize Medicaid Redesign (MRT)
funds. Designed within NYC’s Quality Housing Program, the resulting
setbacks breakdown the scale of the building. A 40-foot deep rear yard provides
both at-grade planting beds and raised beds that allow mobility impaired
residents to participate in ongoing horticultural activities. Native and drought
resistant plantings were selected for their flowering, color and scents. The
project was initiated to provide independent living for patients currently housed in the soon-to-be-decommissioned Goldwater Hospital on Roosevelt Island.
Access to support services is integrated into the building’s program. It is
anticipated that over 50% of the residents may be mobility impaired, and the
entire facility is designed to accommodate their needs.
