To help ensure that incomes are accurately reported, HPD has directed the managers of Mitchell-Lama developments to obtain and review the certified NYS tax returns for tenants whose income reported on their income verifications does not match the income listed in DTF’s records. Accordingly, HPD seeks to regularly compare the income reported by Mitchell-Lama residents on their annual income affidavits against tax return information maintained by the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF). These surcharges enhance the financial health of the development and are a fundamental condition of Mitchell-Lama residency. Mitchell-Lama rules require that residents verify their household income annually, and residents whose household income exceeds the applicable limit are obligated to pay a surcharge in addition to their scheduled basic rent/maintenance. The waiting list specifies if a development is federally subsidized and if the development is a rental or cooperative. Maximum income limits differ for federally-assisted rental and cooperative developments, and non-federally-assisted developments. The waiting list information gets updated each time we approve an application.Īll Mitchell-Lama developments have eligibility requirements related to income limits, family size, and apartment size. This information will allow you to monitor your progress on the waiting list. Through Mitchell-Lama Connect, you can view the waiting list number and date the last application was approved for each Mitchell-Lama development. As of August 2019, the application fee for new waitlist applicants is $75 and is non-refundable. Requests for refunds must be put in writing and sent directly to the managing agent. Mitchell-Lama waiting list applicants who want to withdraw their application from a current waitlist must contact the development’s management office to request a refund of the application fee, minus a $50 administrative fee. If you are a veteran residing in New York State you may be entitled to a preference for Mitchell-Lama developments with an open waiting list.
