The building is described as having a kids play area, laundry, a deck, security cameras, and a gym. As is typical of the housing lottery, city employees, neighborhood residents, and people with disabilities get preference. The building is at the corner of First Avenue, near the Wagner Houses, and seven blocks from the 116th Street 6 station, at Lexington Avenue. The 4 and 5 are a few blocks further, at 125th Street, and a block beyond that is the 125th Street Metro-North station.
