$856 Studio Apartments Next To Little Skips Hit Housing Lottery

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — A small batch of Bushwick apartments, some going for just $856 per month, hit the city’s affordable housing lottery Monday morning.

The eight newly constructed units will be up for grabs at 16 Charles Place — a building that boasts Little Skips as a neighbor — from Feb. 12 until March 6, according to the NYC Housing Connect website.

A former partner of the murdered developer Menachem Stark, Israel Perlmutter, bought the land behind Little Skips for $5 million in 2011, according to a YIMBY report.

Two studios, two one-bedrooms and four two-bedrooms are available to households that meet specific income requirements.

• People who earn between $29,349 and $40,060 can apply for one of two $856-per-month studios.
• Households that earn between $33,772 and $45,840 can apply for one of two $985-per-month one-bedrooms.
• Households that earn between $38,195 and $57,240 can apply for one of four $1,114-per-month two-bedrooms.

The Karl Fischer firm is the architect and designer of the five-story, 39-unit building, Department of Buildings records show.

Building amenities include a laundry room, lounge, parking and roof access.

The building is about a three-block walk from the Myrtle Avenue-Broadway J, M, and Z train station.
