Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M14D-SBS Lower East Side - Chelsea Piers in NYC

It means the apartments are filtered for rent-stabilized status, which is a regulatory category tied to rent-increase limits and renewal protections. It does not mean every unit has the same lease terms, so check the exact lease and rider for each apartment.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It is a market regulatory status, not an official affordable-housing program.

The filter narrows the page to apartments that are identified as rent-stabilized, so you can focus on homes with regulated renewal protections instead of sorting through the broader market.

Openigloo adds renter-focused signals like building and landlord reviews, so you can look beyond the asking rent and compare maintenance, responsiveness, and move-in experience.

Check the exact layout, storage, light, and kitchen setup, then confirm fees, deposits, broker fee if any, utilities, and whether the lease terms match what was advertised.
