Applications are now open for 15 affordable rentals in East Harlem, a new development at 69 East 125th Street, a.k.a. Harlem 125, per a new listing posted on NYC Housing Connect. 

The building, designed by Kutnicki Bernstein Architects, is a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, with options for renters at a variety of income levels; price ranges are aimed at New Yorkers earning 50 percent of Area Median Income.

The building will include 24-hour virtual doorman service, a landscaped roof deck, bike storage, and more, according to the listing. As is often the case for this type of development, preference for half of the affordable rentals will be given to current area residents, which in this case means residents of Manhattan Community Board 11. 

If you're interested and think you may qualify, you can create a profile and apply online via NYC Housing Connect, or request a paper application by mailing a self-addressed envelope to: Harlem125, c/o Housing Partnership Development Corporation, 242 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10018. (Don't send in multiple applications, or you could wind up disqualified.)

Applications are due by March 27th.
