Nearly 50 units in a newly-constructed building in Jackson Heights are up for grabs through the New York City affordable housing lottery.

Altogether, 47 apartments — a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units — are available for New Yorkers who make between $38,435 and $183,300 a year.

The 47 apartments are located within the Roosevelt Parc, a six-story mixed-use development located at 37-46 72nd St. and rent between $1,121 and $3,283 a month. The building has 154 units in total — with the remaining 107 apartments listed at market price.

Residents must make 130 percent of the area median income to be eligible for the lottery.

There are 15 studio-units available for $1,121 a month to households of one to two people who make between $38,435 and $118,300 combined annually.

Another 19 one-bedroom units are available for $1,962 a month to households of one to three people who make between $67,269 and $133,120 combined annually.

Nine two-bedroom units are also available for $2,849 a month to households of two to five people who make between $97,680 and $159,640 combined annually.

Lastly, four three-bedroom units are available through the lottery for $3,283 a month for households of three to seven people who make between $112,560 and $183,300 combined annually.

A breakdown of the full income requirements is below.

The Roosevelt Parc is full of amenities, such as a 5,000-square-foot garden and 12,000-square-foot landscaped outdoor deck with seating and grills. It also features a 15th floor residents lounge with a fireplace, a new fitness center, an on-site valet service parking garage, children’s playroom, yoga lawn, screening room, internet lounge, laundry room, bicycle storage and personal storage units.

Two- and three-bedroom units also include in-unit washer/dryers.

Most of the amenities are included in the base rent price, while some are available for hourly rental or fee, such as the storage units.
