Two of the city's larger open Housing Connect rental lotteries hit their last day to apply on Friday, Nov. 6: One River Park at 355 Exterior Street in the Bronx, and a nine-unit building at 228 North 7th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

NYC Open Data lists both lotteries as active with an end date of Nov. 6, 2026. Rent and income bands below come from Weverit's mirror of Housing Connect figures; always confirm the official listing before you apply.

One River Park, 355 Exterior Street (Bronx) — lottery 7607

The new-construction rental has 227 apartments: 29 studios, 154 one-bedrooms and 44 two-bedrooms, per Open Data. The application window opened Sept. 2.

  • At 70% of area median income, Weverit lists one-bedrooms at $1,936 a month (income about $73,783–$106,890 for a one- to three-person household) and two-bedrooms at $2,297 ($87,600–$128,240).
  • At 130% AMI, studios are listed at $2,500, one-bedrooms at $2,600 and two-bedrooms at $2,850, with higher income caps that reach into the low-to-mid $200,000s depending on household size.
