I think it's pretty new, maybe a few years but I could be mistaken. When we received our applications they included the information/paper for veterans, etc.
Thanks H & H. Very informative. Is there any more info you can share about Clayton? What was the size of the duplex in comparison to the other places. Are all the three bedrooms in Clayton duplexes? Any info you have is appreciated.
Veterans get preference for all types of housing in NYC, from rent-stabilized apartments, to NYCHA, to Mitchell-Lama. When I was back in the landlord-tenant business years ago if a tenant did not pay their rent, one step of the eviction proceedings entailed the tenant having to sign what is called a non-military affidavit, or we called it non-mil for short. There's a different procedure involved I guess if somebody was former military and you had to kick them out. I never ran across a tenant that was former military however.

[quote=HealthyandHappy;40411193]Some helpful info re: 3 bedroom Mitchell lama coops.. I was able to see 4 different units. See below on their differences.
Clayton apartment on Lennox avenue, 3bdrm duplex, 1.5 baths, approx 5 closets - Cost $13,800, not sure what the maintenance would have been or anything else because we didn't get that far with numbers. No balcony, just a tiny space to stand for barely one person.
***** My apologies on Clayton Apts, it should have been 1199 Housing Corp. Home | 1199 Housing Corporation that address was 2010 First Avenue. **** I couldn't figure out how to edit my original post.
Are all the balconies that small? They LOOK bigger from the street.[/quote]
No not all of them are that small but the one I seen was and I think all the 3bdrm duplex ones were. I believe the other sized apartments have a nice size balcony. It was a disappointment that it was so so small.
So then do you think I can tell friends to get to the 1199 Houses and put in an application and expect to get in within 2 years? Presuming, of course, the couple is income qualified for a 1 bedroom unit.

You can have them apply but not sure on how long the waiting list is if they are not veterans. For a veteran the waiting time was about 1 year.

For comparison purposes, I applied as a singleton (non-military) to a studio, and the response letter I got back from 1199, told me to be prepared to wait 1-2 years.
It was, in actuality, 4 months before I was called to look at apartments.
I had second thoughts about what would happen if I get stuck in a studio with noisy neighbors (been there, done that) and didn't go to tour, thus can't help give any impressions of the complex or the apartments themselves; but based upon my experience, your friends could get in PDQ.
