An affordable housing lottery has opened for nine newly constructed units in a six-story building at 348 Nostrand Avenue, at the corner of Lexington Avenue, in Bed Stuy.

Of the affordable apartments, there are five one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units. Monthly rents start at $2,000 and top out at $2,475.

The lottery is set at an area median income range of 130 percent for all of the units. Eligible incomes range between $68,572 and $149,890 for households of one to five people.
