Housing lottery underway for units in this new building on 10th Street

The lottery for the affordable housing units at the recently completed 351 E. 10th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C is open now.

As previously reported, the long-empty lot yielded an 8-floor residential building featuring 28 residences, 11 of which are designated "affordable." Housing news here dates back to October 2019, when an array of city and federal officials came together during a press conference "to celebrate the commencement of the preservation and rehabilitation of project-based Section 8 housing in the East Village." 

There are 11 units — studios and 1-2 bedroom homes — currently available for residents at 70 to 130% of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $55,955 to $198,250.

The building features a virtual doorman system, laundry room, package room, bike storage lockers, intercommunication devices and an elevator. 

Application deadline: March 29.

The NYC Housing Connect site here has all the application details and a breakdown of income restrictions for each eligible unit.

Construction watch: 351 E. 10th St.

Work has really progressed at 351 E. 10th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C since the first sign of an excavator in the spring.

As previously reported, the long-empty lot is yielding an 8-floor residential building featuring 28 residences. News of housing here dates to October 2019, when an array of city and federal officials came together during a press conference "to celebrate the commencement of the preservation and rehabilitation of project-based Section 8 housing in the East Village." During this event, officials noted that more affordable housing was set for this 10th Street parcel.

It appears that 30% of those 28 units will be considered "affordable." Here's more from the website of Goshow Architects:

[The building is] intended to interchangeably mix market rate (70%) and affordable (30%) dwelling units. In the interest of dignity-for-all, there is absolutely no distinction between the two: same size rooms, same kitchen appliances, same level of fit and finish.

The rendering at the lot lists a completion date of Sept. 1, 2023.
