wow the Balton looks beautiful .I have to wonder if its really for people of Harlem or if its for the Balton staff ,so many people are being rejected.You can meet the income requirements but then they say oh your credit is bad.They had the lottery and many other non-lottery people applied and it was overheard as to how so many people are being rejected .The building is complete by why as of August 26,2011 there’s only 10 tenants in that building of 156 apartments. The income requirements listed on HPD on NYC.gov is so different from the Balton application ,they actually raised the income status ,is HPD AND HDC aware of this SMH -SHAKING MY HEAD.The agent CLAUDIA LAURETTE HAS A SERIOUS CHIP ON HER SHOULDER .When asking her questions its appears to be to much work for her and why is all the stafff members COUPLES .
woow, I’m thinking about applying…thanks for the heads up!
the staff gave the apartments to there own friends and families. in fact u have to know somebody there to get in. so don’t even bother cause u won’t get it. some people are in need and they can efford the rent, but cause they don’t know nobody so they won’t get it. that’s sad.
