7. Upon further investigation, it appears the entire building is subsidized, which is fine.

But it's different from poor doors, if every apartment is rent controlled/subsidized.

I'm still reading up on this, but it looks like it could be that some of the units got disproportionally large patios and in an effort to achieve equity, their terrace has been "abbreviated".

From my reading of the rent and income structure for studios and 1 and 2 bedroom units, I'd say anyone having any balcony should consider themselves lucky because they pay the same as everyone else with that size unit.

Work is really moving along at Q41, the 108-unit affordable rental currently under construction at 23-10 41st Avenue in Long Island City. The development is actually part of the city’s Housing Asset Renewal Program, a program designed to convert stalled condo sites into affordable housing. The city accepted applications for the studio, one-, and two-bedroom units, priced between $1,103 and $2,186 a month, over the summer. It looks like residents will be able to move in any day now!
