West 148th street cluster is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in New York, New York. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for New York. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 10039 zip code is $31,901 for a single person and $45,574 for a 4-person household. These figures make New York tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. West 148th street cluster was placed in service around 2004, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2004.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for New York. Based on the 10039 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $15,951/yr for 1 person / $22,787/yr for a 4-person household.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (West 148th street cluster was placed in service around 2004, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2034). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
HFA records show this property was acquired and rehabilitated using LIHTC funding around 2004. Renovation scope varies widely — some properties received light cosmetic updates while others were substantially rebuilt. Ask management what was renovated, the age of key systems (roof, HVAC, plumbing), and whether any additional work is planned.
According to HFA records, this LIHTC property is specifically designated to serve formerly homeless individuals. This means it may have specialized services, accessible units, or preference policies that prioritize these groups. Contact management to understand their current preference and waitlist selection process — being in a designated group does not guarantee priority without a formal application.
HFA records indicate that West 148th street cluster is a scattered-site property, meaning income-restricted units may be spread across more than one address or building in the area. Before applying, ask management for the exact addresses of available units so you can evaluate commute, transit access, and neighborhood fit for each location.
Yes. This property reports 3 studio or efficiency units. Efficiency units are typically self-contained apartments with a combined living/sleeping area, a kitchenette, and a bathroom — well suited for individuals or couples. Ask management for current availability and exact square footage before applying.
