What does “affordable” mean on this page?

It means apartments with asking rents at or below the $3,300 market-relative affordability threshold for this page’s scope. It is not the same as official affordable housing.

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

No. These are market-relative affordable apartments, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery units.

How is the affordable threshold decided?

Openigloo sets it at the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the threshold stays realistic. On this page, that maximum asking rent is $3,300.

What does “good cause buildings” mean?

It refers to buildings where tenant-protection rules may limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. You should still read the lease and confirm how the protection applies to the specific unit.

What should I confirm before I apply?

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, rent history, and any lease clauses that affect renewal or move-out costs. The asking rent is only part of the total monthly cost.

What affects whether an apartment here is truly affordable for me?

Location, building age, amenities, lease length, and move-in fees all affect the real monthly cost. A unit near your ceiling can still be expensive once fees and utilities are added.

How do the rent and inventory numbers help with budgeting?

This page has 9 apartments for rent, with a median rent of $3,153. Since inventory is limited and the ceiling is $3,300, budget for a narrow search and be ready to act quickly on units that fit your range.
