An affordable housing lottery has launched for 13 apartments in a new development on the corner of Atlantic and Miller avenues in East New York, one of a number of new developments rising on the rezoned thoroughfare.
Simply called 2767 Atlantic Avenue, the new eight-story building has a total of 41 apartments. Included in the lottery are 13 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, all income restricted and rent stabilized. Of the 13, 10 could be deemed truly affordable for families earning 40 to 80 percent of the Area Median Income, with income limits set between $29,795 and $218,010 for households of one to five people, according to the listing.
Two units are studios going for $750 a month, three are one-bedroom apartments for $761 and $1,261, and five are two-bedroom units that will rent for $833 and $2,034. The remaining apartments in the lottery are for those earning 130 percent of AMI, including two two-bedrooms priced at $2,275 a month.
Designed by Nicholas Katz Architect, the development has taken the place of four structures, including three 19th century brick storefront buildings. A 19th century brick storefront on the corner was an empty lot by the 1980s, later replaced by a three-family house, old photos show. The buildings were demolished sometime between 2021 and 2022, permit applications and Google Maps reveal.
Renderings of the new build show a uniform large gray development with a number of evenly spaced black bordered windows across the southern and western facades, as well as a number of apartments with balconies. The ground floor commercial space is done in a contrasting dark gray, with more open glassy windows.
According to NYC Housing Connect, the building has bike storage lockers, a shared laundry room, security cameras, intercom, an elevator, and air conditioning. Tenants are responsible for paying for electricity, including the stove and heat, while the rent includes hot water.
City records show the current owners YC Atlantic LLC, with signatory Aaron Goodman, purchased the property from another LLC for $1.65 million in 2017. According to permits filed with the Department of Buildings, Michael Rosenberg of Urbane Management Team Inc. is behind the development.
Given 2767 Atlantic Avenue is within the area of East New York rezoned in 2016, it must contain truly affordable units as part of the Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program. It will also likely benefit from the 421-a tax break, which requires a set aside of income restricted, rent stabilized units.
The 2767 Atlantic Avenue lottery closes June 24. To apply, visit the listing on New York City’s Housing Connect website.
