'Affordable' Bed-Stuy Apartments Demand $80K Minimum Salary

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN -- A batch of affordably priced apartments hit the Bed-Stuy housing market this week, but you'll need to make more than $78,000 to apply.

Three one-bedroom apartments are up for grabs in a newly constructed building at 847 Madison St. through the NYC Housing Connect program, which is run by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Housing Development Corporation, city records show.

The units each cost $2,276-per-month and only available to a single person with an annual income between $78,035 and $95,030, couple with a combined annual income between $78,035 and $108,550 or three people with a combined annual income between $78,035 and $122,070.

Building amenities include access to a rooftop terrace and a coin-operated laundry room, but you may need to pay an extra fee to access them, records show.

The apartments are available through the mayor's Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which allows developers to construct larger buildings if a percentage of the units are affordably priced.
