East New York Affordable Housing Lottery Has Two-Bedroom Apartments for $1,888

An affordable housing lottery has launched for a 100 percent affordable nine-story development on the corner of Pitkin Avenue and Logan Street in East New York. Of the building’s 66 apartments, 25 are included in the lottery and the remainder are supportive units set aside for formerly homeless people, those with low incomes, and families with special needs.

All of the 25 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments in the lottery for Concern Logan at 467 Logan Street are rent stabilized and set aside for families earning 60 percent of Area Median Income, according to the listing. That covers households of one to five people earning between $55,166 and $105,000.

There are two studio apartments at $1,498 a month, 17 one-bedroom units renting for $1,582 a month, and six two-bedroom apartments priced at $1,888 a month. The listing states 12 percent of the apartments are set aside for people with mobility impairments and eight percent are set aside for people with hearing or vision impairment.

Concern Logan is developed by affordable housing provider Concern for Independent Living and is designed by Dattner Architects. The building includes a gym, community center, sun deck, and card operated laundry room, according to the listing. Apartments have dishwashers and air conditioning.

While rent includes gas for heating and hot water, tenants have to pay for electricity, which includes an electric stove. The building is smoke free and allows pets, according to the listing.

Renderings show a simple yet attractive red brick-clad facade with evenly spaced windows. The building reaches its full nine stories on the corner of Pitkin Avenue and Logan Street and steps down to seven stories to the side and rear. Renderings show terrace plantings and, on the ground floor, large floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Apartments also have big windows and basic white finishes. In the kitchens are stainless steel appliances and dark wood cabinetry. Bathrooms have white tile, renderings show.

Prior to the new development, the corner site housed a single-story industrial building. City records show in 2020 Concern Logan Housing Development Fund Corp. bought the property from an LLC for $4.375 million. The new owners filed for a new-building permit in October 2021, and the demolition of the existing industrial building was signed off in April 2023.

The developers used the city’s Inclusionary Housing Program and the state’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and Supportive Housing Opportunity programs.

The Concern Logan lottery closes on December 5. To apply, visit the listing on New York City’s Housing Connect website.
