A conformed copy of the master waiting lists by apartment size shall be sent to HPD. These master waiting lists shall be kept in the management office. As used in this chapter, the term "tenant/cooperator" shall mean a tenant residing in an apartment in a rental development and/or a shareholder/proprietary lessee residing in an apartment in a mutual housing company development, as the case may be. All eligibility requirements for age, residency and family composition must be met by the cut-off date for the lottery. (8) (i) All housing companies, whether mutual or rental, shall maintain all waiting lists on forms approved by HPD for all tenant/cooperator applications for apartments, listed in chronological order, by apartment size, by date of receipt or by order of selection by lottery, as applicable. Such inclusion in multiple selected family compositions also shall result in disqualification of all involved parties from such lottery. Furthermore, an applicant whose name is selected in a lottery cannot be included in the family composition of any other applicant who is selected in the same lottery for that particular housing company development.
Multiple entries shall result in disqualification from such lottery.
Each applicant shall only be entitled to one entry per lottery for a housing company development. Applications are only transferable to spouses, siblings, or children who are at least eighteen years of age as of the date of the applicant's initial application, provided that such spouse's, sibling's, or children's names appeared on the applicant's initial application. No applicant may be placed on more than one waiting list by bedroom size in a particular housing company development. Applicants must meet the occupancy standards at the time of application and at the time the apartment is offered.
The housing company or its managing agent shall provide an applicant with a dated receipt or other form of documentation setting forth the date and/or waiting list number of the application. (3) Applications shall be consecutively numbered and dated upon receipt by the housing company or shall be numbered pursuant to order of selection by lottery, as applicable.
