An affordable housing lottery for units at 1982 University Avenue in the University Heights section of The Bronx closes on Monday, Oct. 2, according to NYC Department of Housing, Preservation & Development (HPD).
According to information published on NYC Housing Connect, HPD’s online portal, this project consists of 10 existing Bronx pre-war buildings, all walk-up buildings (no elevator) which feature larger living space than the typical new building, with wide rooms and plentiful closet space.
According to HPD, each unit has gone through extensive renovation, including new cabinets, hardwood floors and new appliances. The tenant is responsible for electricity and cooking gas, HPD officials said, and heat and hot water are included.
According to HPD, this building was rehabilitated through HPD’s low-income housing tax credit year 15 program.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
