Forty apartments in a newly constructed building in Ridgewood are up for grabs through the city’s affordable housing lottery — but only for those who make at least $61,000 a year.

The building, called the “The Strand,” is located at 18-81 Starr St. It has a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, which cost upwards of $1,797 a month through the lottery.

Residents must make 130 percent of the area median income to be eligible for the lottery.

There are 11 studio units available for $1,797 a month to households of one to two people who make between $61,612 and $118,300 combined annually.

Another 22 one-bedroom units are available for $2,525 a month to households of one to three people who make between $86,606 and $133,120 combined annually.

Six two-bedroom units are available for $3,044 a month to households of two to five people who make between $104,366 and $159,640 combined annually.

A single three-bedroom is also available for $3,508 a month to households of three to seven people who make between $120,275 and $183,300 combined annually.

A breakdown of the full income requirements is below.

The Strand offers a plethora of amenities, though additional fees apply to most. The building features an attended lobby and package room, onsite parking, laundry, bike storage, fitness center, outdoor terraces, a co-working lounge and a media/gaming lounge.

Nearby transit includes M and L trains and the B38 and B57 buses.

In addition to monthly rent, tenants are responsible for paying for electricity. Gas for cooking and heat is included.

The deadline to apply for the lottery is Sept. 1. Mailed-in applications must be postmarked by that date.

While the units are given out to eligible applicants through a lottery, some preference is given to applicants with vision, mobility and hearing disabilities.

Those eligible can apply to the housing lottery online here.
