Affordable buildings near 14 St station in NYC

It’s market-relative affordability. For each building, the filter uses the building’s median asking rent compared to the neighborhood median, so it is not based on your income and is not a subsidy program.

No. This filter is not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it is not part of a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

No. The filter compares medians at the time of listing data. You still need to review the lease for renewal terms, rent adjustments, and any move-in costs that can raise your effective monthly budget.

Check the full cost items that may apply to a specific building and unit: broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any required building fees. The asking rent alone may not reflect your monthly total.

Openigloo includes renter-first signals such as tenant Q&A and building notes. Use them to verify policies and practical requirements, then confirm anything unclear directly with the building or managing agent.

Yes. Availability, pricing, and unit rules can change quickly. Also, building policies and requirements can vary by unit type, so you should confirm the exact terms for the apartment you plan to rent.
