A log number is a unique, randomly assigned number that all successfully submitted applications receive. The log number represents the applicant’s place in line. When resident selection begins, marketing agents start with the lowest log number and move sequentially to higher log numbers to find eligible applicants.

Area Median Income refers to income levels modified by household size for the New York metropolitan area, as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For more information, visit www.hud.gov.

If an applicant has submitted more than one application, we will identify the lower log number as ineligible. However, we will consider only the application with the highest log number, aligning with the instruction and indicating the lowest chance of being selected.
