Eligible households may include one to three people for a one-bedroom apartment and two to five people for a two-bedroom apartment.

Apartment Sizes, Rents, and Unit Counts
All 11 advertised apartments are assigned to the 130% AMI income tier. The rent is tied to apartment size, not to the number of people in the household.
One-Bedroom Apartments
Units available: Seven.
Monthly rent: $2,954.
Allowed household size: One to three people, subject to the occupancy rules applied during review.
Published income range: $106,903 to $198,510 per year, depending on household size.
Two-Bedroom Apartments
Units available: Four.
Monthly rent: $3,187.
Allowed household size: Two to five people, subject to the occupancy rules applied during review.
Published income range: $116,812 to $238,160 per year, depending on household size.
The building-level public record assigns six affordable apartments to 2838 Webb Avenue and five to 2840 Webb Avenue. Applicants apply to the combined development rather than choosing a separate lottery for each address.
Income Limits by Household Size
The apartments are offered at 130% of Area Median Income. Read our explanation of how Area Median Income affects affordable housing eligibility if you need help understanding what an AMI percentage means. The project’s actual income figures below still control this application.
The stated minimum income is based on the advertised rent. The maximum income changes with household size under the 2026 New York City income limits. Household income includes the income Housing Connect requires from everyone who will live in the apartment.
One-Bedroom Income Limits
One person: $106,903 to $154,440.
Two people: $106,903 to $176,410.
Three people: $106,903 to $198,510.
Two-Bedroom Income Limits
Two people: $116,812 to $176,410.
Three people: $116,812 to $198,510.
Four people: $116,812 to $220,480.
Five people: $116,812 to $238,160.
Use the NYC Housing Connect income and household-size rules to understand how the correct income column and apartment size are matched to your household. That general explanation does not replace the Webb Avenue limits listed above.
The listing also identifies a household asset limit of $220,480. Housing Connect and the marketing agent may review bank accounts, investments, real property interests, and other countable assets under the rules that apply to the development.
The published minimum-income amount may not apply in the same way to a household with Section 8 or another qualifying rental subsidy. Our guide to minimum and maximum income rules for income-restricted housing explains why an applicant can otherwise earn too little or too much for a particular apartment.
Voucher and subsidy applicants should still apply when the apartment fits their household size and should allow the responsible agency and marketing agent to complete the affordability review.
Utilities, Security Deposit, and Other Housing Costs
The advertised rent does not cover every monthly household expense. The property information reviewed states that tenants are responsible for electricity, including the electric stove and electric heat.
Tenant-paid utility: Electricity.
Electric stove: Paid by the tenant through the electric bill.
Electric heat: Paid by the tenant through the electric bill.
Security deposit: No separate required deposit amount was verified in the public listing information reviewed. Follow the lease and selection notice if the household advances.
Application fee: Do not pay a third party to submit the Housing Connect application. Follow only the official application process.
Optional charges: Ask the marketing agent to identify any optional amenity, service, or other lawful charge before signing a lease.
When comparing the rent with your budget, include estimated electricity for cooking and heat. A household that uses rental assistance should also confirm how the responsible voucher agency applies the utility allowance.
Preferences and Accessible Apartments
The public data available for this verification did not identify listing-specific preference percentages or the number of mobility, hearing, or vision set-aside apartments. Do not assume that a general New York City preference or disability set-aside applies in a particular percentage unless it appears on the current Housing Connect advertisement.
The property information describes an accessible building entrance. That feature does not, by itself, prove that a particular apartment is reserved or fully adapted for a specific disability.
Preference claim: Select only a preference that appears on the official application and applies to your household.
Required proof: Be prepared to document any preference or set-aside claimed.
Accessible apartment request: Follow the Housing Connect questions and the marketing agent’s instructions for mobility, hearing, vision, or reasonable-accommodation needs.
Selection effect: A preference may affect review order, but it does not guarantee eligibility or an apartment.
How to Apply
The safest application route is the official NYC Housing Connect listing for Lottery ID 7619. Applicants may apply online through Housing Connect or follow the official listing’s instructions for requesting and returning a paper application.
Create or update your Housing Connect profile. Enter every household member and current household income accurately.
Search for Lottery ID 7619. Confirm the title, addresses, rents, and August 17, 2026 deadline.
Choose the applicable apartment size. Your household must meet the occupancy and income requirements.
Answer every application question. Include truthful income, asset, household, rental-subsidy, and preference information.
Review before submitting. Correct names, income amounts, household members, addresses, and contact information.
Submit one application. Do not apply online and also mail a second application for the same lottery.
Save confirmation. Keep your submission record and later log number.
For a paper application, use the mailing instructions shown on the current official advertisement. Requesting a paper form does not extend the deadline. Do not send cash, an application fee, or original identity and income documents with an initial lottery application unless the official instructions expressly require a particular item.
Documents to Prepare for Eligibility Review
You usually do not upload the full eligibility file with the first lottery entry. If your log number is reached and you appear eligible, the marketing agent may ask for supporting evidence. Use our affordable housing lottery document checklist to prepare without assuming that every project requests every listed record.
Identity: Government-issued identification and other documents requested for household members.
Household composition: Records showing who will live in the apartment and the relationship or financial interdependence of household members when required.
Employment income: Recent pay statements, employer records, and tax documents.
Other income: Benefit statements, Social Security records, child support, self-employment records, and other required income evidence.
Assets: Current bank and investment statements and explanations for large deposits or transfers when requested.
Rental subsidy: Current voucher or rental-assistance documents.
Preference evidence: Documents supporting any preference or accessible-unit set-aside claimed.
Current housing information: Lease, rent records, address history, or other documents requested under the selection criteria.
Respond by the deadline in the marketing agent’s notice. A missed document deadline can cause the application to lose its place in review. Keep copies of every item you submit.
What Happens After August 17, 2026
After the deadline, Housing Connect assigns applications random log numbers and the marketing agent begins reviewing applicants in the required order. Our local explanation of the NYC Housing Connect log-number and selection process explains how review order works after a New York City lottery closes.
A low log number can improve the chance of early review, but it does not prove that the household qualifies.
The lottery closes. New applications are no longer accepted unless the City officially extends the deadline.
Log numbers are assigned. Timely applications enter the lottery process.
Applications are reviewed in order. Preferences and set-asides may affect the order when they apply.
Documents are requested. Households reached for review must verify income, assets, identity, household size, and other eligibility factors.
Eligibility is determined. Matching the published income range is necessary but does not complete screening.
An apartment may be offered. A household must still complete the required approval and lease steps.
Later applicants may be contacted. The agent can continue through the log when earlier applicants do not qualify, do not respond, or decline.
For the broader meaning of rankings, waitlists, and post-lottery document invitations, read how affordable housing lottery results and log numbers work. The Webb Avenue project’s official notices still control its specific outcome.
Housing Connect states that processing may take several months. No universal contact date, result date, or guaranteed response schedule was published for this lottery. Continue checking your Housing Connect account, email, spam folder, text messages, and postal mail.
How This Page Will Be Updated
This is the permanent project page for the two Webb Avenue buildings. It should not be replaced with separate URLs for the deadline, income limits, lottery results, or waitlist.
After the deadline: Change the current status to closed.
During review: Use “applications under review” or “results pending” only when supported by Housing Connect or the marketing agent.
If a waitlist is created: Add the official waitlist status and instructions on this page.
If results are released: Add the official result-checking method without publishing applicant names or an unofficial result list.
After leasing: State the final status when confirmed, while keeping the original rents and application dates as historical project information.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using the wrong building: This lottery covers 2838 and 2840 Webb Avenue as one combined opportunity.
Submitting duplicate applications: Applying online and by mail can risk disqualification.
Ignoring household-size rules: A one-person household does not fit the advertised two-bedroom occupancy range.
Using only the maximum income: Most applicants must also meet the listed minimum income unless a qualifying subsidy changes the calculation.
Forgetting utility costs: The tenant pays electricity, including the electric stove and heat.
Assuming an accessible entrance guarantees an accessible unit: Follow the official set-aside and accommodation process.
Paying an application service: Use Housing Connect or the official paper route, not a company that promises selection.
Expecting immediate contact: Lottery processing and document review can take months.
Current Next Step
The 2838 and 2840 Webb Avenue Housing Lottery remains open through August 17, 2026, based on the status verified August 4, 2026. Review Lottery ID 7619 on NYC Housing Connect, confirm that your household fits the one-bedroom or two-bedroom income range, and submit one accurate application before the deadline. The most serious mistakes are submitting duplicates, overlooking tenant-paid electric heat, or assuming that income eligibility guarantees selection.
