New York City opened a housing lottery for 32 apartments at 1333 Broadway in Bushwick on November 13. The units are reserved for households earning 130% of the area median income, with rents from $2,950 to $4,200 a month.

Applications run through November 27. The listing is the public face of a 22-story mixed-use building that has moved through city permits since 2020.

Why it matters

The lottery sets the income ceiling for 32 new Bushwick apartments: households earning up to $273,520 can apply; lower-income renters without vouchers cannot.
