Seven studio apartments are available for $1,750 per month for individuals making between $60,000 and $97,110, and two-person households earning up to $111,020.

The largest share of units on offer are one-bedroom lots with a total of 14 available. All of these units are being offered for $1,950 per month. To qualify individual renters must make between $66,858 and $97,110. Households of two can have an income up to $111,020 and households of three can go up to $124,930.

There are 10 two-bedroom units on offer, with five going for $2,300 per month and the other five for $2,400. The units are available to households between two to five people. Income requirements begin at $78,858 ,680 and top off at $149,890 for a household of five.

Tenants will be responsible for electricity not water and heat.

Preference will be given to applicants who are already residents of New York City, with additional preference given to those with mobility, vision, or hearing impairments.
