A small but well-located lottery is open on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border — five units at 130% AMI, with applications due June 26, 2026.
The Building
The affordable housing lottery is open for 80 Ainslie Street, on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border in Brooklyn — between the G, L, J, and M lines. Building features include an elevator, a rooftop terrace, in-unit washer/dryers, and pet-friendly policies.
The Units and Income Bands
Five units are available at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI):
- Two one-bedrooms: $2,320/month — eligible incomes $85,509 to $198,510
- Three two-bedrooms: $2,795/month — eligible incomes $103,818 to $238,160
Household size: 1 to 5 people, depending on unit.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted via NYC Housing Connect or postmarked no later than June 26, 2026. Income and household size requirements apply.
With only five units, odds are long — but the application is free and takes minutes with an existing Housing Connect profile. See this lottery's full details on Weverit's lottery page for 80 Ainslie Street.
Before You Apply
Review the building's complaints, permits, violations, ownership records, and neighborhood data on Weverit. A few minutes of due diligence tells you what the listing won't.
