Background
In New York City, new buildings start with permit applications filed with the Department of Buildings (DOB). A filing is not an approval. Plans can change, and construction can take a long time or stall. When a new building includes income-restricted apartments, those units are usually offered through a lottery on NYC Housing Connect closer to completion, with set rents, income limits and an application deadline.
