How many apartments for rent are on this page?

There are 265+ apartments for rent in Midtown East under this filter set, with a median rent of $5,449.

How do I know if a unit is actually covered by rent stabilization or good cause protections?

Ask the landlord or agent for the lease documents and any rent history or registration information they can provide. Filters on Openigloo help you find apartments to review, but the legal status should still be confirmed for the specific unit.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. This page uses a market-relative filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It is for apartments that match the rent-stabilized and good cause categories, not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery units.

How is the affordable threshold decided?

This page does not use Openigloo’s affordable filter. For that filter, Openigloo uses the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, which means roughly the cheapest quarter of asking rents in that area or category.

What should I confirm before applying to a rent-stabilized or good cause unit?

Confirm the current asking rent, renewal terms, any legal rent increases, broker fee, security deposit, and whether there are building-specific restrictions or documentation requirements. The full monthly cost matters, not just the advertised rent.

Why do location, building age, amenities, and lease terms affect affordability here?

Even in the same neighborhood, newer buildings, added amenities, longer lease terms, and different fee structures can raise the total monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once you add fees and utilities.
