Pacific Park's Affordable 'Module' Apartments Now Accepting Applications

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — The long-delayed affordable housing tower in the Pacific Park development rising over Barclays Center finally started accepting applications Wednesday.

The building, named "B2" and located at 461 Dean Street, was originally expected to begin accepting tenants in 2014.

However, the property's uncommon "modular" assembly technique — in which individual, pre-fabricated units are stacked on top of each other — led to reports of severe leaks, lawsuits and delays.

Any lingering structural problems have apparently been resolved, though, because Pacific Park management and city officials announced Wednesday that New Yorkers can now apply to live in one of the property's 181 units.

The apartments are open to households with between one and four members.

Singles can make as little as $20,675 to apply for a $559-per-month studio, although the bulk of the studios cost $718 per month and are reserved for singles making between $26,126 and $31,750.

And on the upper crust of the building's income bracket, singles making between $69,943 and $101,600 can apply for a studio costing $1,996 per month.

Households of four can make a combined income of as little as $26,572 to apply for a $727-per-month two-bedroom, or as much as $144,960 to apply for a $3,012-per-month two bedroom.

Applications are being accepted until June 27, 2016, and can be submitted online.

Applicants an also request an application in the mail by sending a self-addressed envelope to: Pacific Park Brooklyn c/o MHANY Management Inc., PO Box 25764, Brooklyn, NY 11202.

The B2 building will feature a 24-hour doorman, a washer-dryer in each unit and a fitness center.

Five percent of its units will be set aside for those with mobility disabilities. Another 2 percent will be held for those with visual impairments.

Residents of Community Board 2, Community Board 3, Community Board 6 and Community Board 8 will be given preference when filling half of the building's units, while preference will be given to municipal employees when filling five percent of its apartments.
