federalUnited StatesTax-Exempt Private Activity Bond Financed Residential Rental Propertyset_aside

In a city of five boroughs with population over five million the 40-60 test is applied as a 25-60 test

bond.set_aside.new_york_city_25_60_substitution · v1.0.0

For a project located in a city having 5 boroughs and a population in excess of 5,000,000, section 142(d)(6) applies the 40-60 test of 142(d)(1)(B) by substituting 25 percent for 40 percent. The income ceiling is unchanged at 60 percent of area median gross income; only the share of units required to be occupied by qualifying individuals falls. Form 8703 prints this as its own election box, '25-60 test (NYC only)'.

Section 142(d)(6) describes New York City by its structure rather than by name. No other United States city has five boroughs.
