The 2022 NYC Price-Controlled Housing Projects List includes approximately 200 buildings with over 250,000 rent-stabilized units. These projects are concentrated in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, and Staten Island, accounting for 65% of all such units. Key examples include large developments in Bed-Stuy, Queensbridge, and the Lower East Side.

Price-controlled housing in NYC primarily refers to rent-stabilized units under the New York City Rent Law. Established in 1969, rent stabilization applies to buildings constructed before 1974 with at least six units. According to HPD's 2022 report, 61% of rent-stabilized units (152,000) are in Brooklyn and Queens, reflecting their dense populations. Average rents for stabilized units are 30% below market rates, with a median of $2,150 compared to $3,000 citywide. The list's significance lies in preserving affordability; without these controls, 1.2 million households would face displacement by 2030 (NYC Housing Preservation and Development, 2022). Recent additions include 50 buildings in Queens and Brooklyn, emphasizing targeted investments in high-demand areas. Challenges include aging infrastructure and rising operating costs, prompting HPD to allocate $1.5 billion in 2022 for maintenance and subsidies. This funding aims to address 40% of the $3.8 billion annual gap in affordable housing repairs, as highlighted by the City Council's 2022 budget analysis. The list remains critical for mitigating gentrification and ensuring long-term housing stability, particularly for low- and middle-income residents.
