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.

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.

SUV driver killed after losing control and crashing into a detached garage in Jamaica: NYPD

A 63-year-old man was killed Tuesday morning after he crashed his SUV after losing control of the vehicle on a residential block in Jamaica.

The driver was behind the wheel of a 2015 Toyota Rav4 traveling eastbound on 90th Street shortly after 5 a.m. when he jumped the east curb at the intersection of 143rd Street and drove straight into the driveway of a home at 89-25 143rd St., police said. The NYPD Highway District’s Collision Investigation Squad determined that the SUV continued through the driveway before colliding into the detached garage and a parked and unoccupied 2011 Toyota Prius inside the structure. The impact caused the garage to collapse on both vehicles, trapping the Rav4 driver.
