What does rent-stabilized mean on this page?

It means the apartments are in a regulated category that can limit how much rent increases and may include renewal protections. It is different from market-rate apartments for rent.

What is the median rent here?

The median rent is $3,190. Use it as a reference point, but compare each unit’s asking rent, lease terms, and condition before applying.

Is rent-stabilized housing the same as affordable housing?

No. Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category, not an income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 program.

What should I confirm before signing a lease?

Confirm the unit’s stabilized status, the current legal rent, renewal terms, broker fee, security deposit, and whether utilities or building fees are extra.
