What happened
Secret NYC reported on 11/07/2026 that a housing lottery is open on NYC Housing Connect for 1060 Pacific Apartments in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The building is at 1058 Pacific St, also known as 1060 Pacific St, Brooklyn, NY 11238, in Brooklyn Community Board 8. It is a newly built 10-story residential building.
The lottery covers 16 rent-stabilized affordable units, from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments. According to the article, they were built through the Inclusionary Housing Program, and the building expects a tax exemption under HPD's 485-x Tax Incentive Program. Rents start at $975 a month. The units are spread across 40%, 60% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) tiers, for households of 1 to 5 people earning $39,875 to $146,560 a year.
Applications must be submitted online or postmarked by 11/18/2026. There is no application fee or broker deposit. Each household may submit only one application. Sending more than one online entry, or sending both an online and a paper application, leads to automatic disqualification. To get a paper application, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to 1060 Pacific Avenue Apartments, C/O Taxace NY LLC, 139 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206.
The article says the rent covers gas for cooking. Tenants pay for electricity, which includes heat, hot water and the electric stove. The building is smoke-free and allows one pet per household up to 30 lbs, with no pet deposit. Other fees and restrictions apply.

What it means
Tenants and voucher holders
Households of 1 to 5 people earning $39,875 to $146,560 can apply once, online or by mail, by 11/18/2026. Heat and hot water run on electricity that the tenant pays, so budget for that bill on top of rent.
Caseworkers
Clients should file only one application, because a duplicate online entry or an online-plus-paper filing means automatic disqualification. A client who wants a paper form needs to mail a self-addressed, stamped envelope early so the form can be returned in time.
Landlords
This is another new Brooklyn building whose affordable units are rent-stabilized and tied to the 485-x incentive. Here the tenant, not the owner, pays for heat and hot water through electricity.
The highlights
- Apply on NYC Housing Connect by 11/18/2026; mailed forms must be postmarked by then.
- Households of 1 to 5 earning $39,875 to $146,560 qualify at 40%, 60% and 80% AMI.
- Sending more than one application to this lottery means automatic disqualification.
Why it matters Caseworkers
Rent-stabilized units open to lower-income households, but budgets must cover electric heat and hot water on top of rent.
What to do: Submit one application on NYC Housing Connect by 11/18/2026.

Background
NYC Housing Connect lotteries usually rank applicants in random order after the deadline. The developer or marketing agent then reviews applications in that order and checks household size, income and other eligibility documents. Many lotteries set aside a share of units for certain groups, such as residents of the local community board, people with disabilities, or city employees. Applying is free, and applicants who are not reached may never be contacted.
