What does “affordable” mean on this page?

“Affordable” here is market-relative affordable: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, and not tied to a housing-lottery program.

Does this filter guarantee I’ll get an affordable rent on my specific unit?

Not automatically. “Affordable” is based on the building’s median asking rent, so your unit’s rent can be above or below that median depending on the apartment, floor, layout, and timing. Always confirm the rent for the specific unit you’re considering.

Are these buildings income-restricted or subsidized (like Section 8 or HPD/NYCHA)?

No. This is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing, and it’s not a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

What should I verify before signing, beyond the asking rent?

Check the full monthly cost (any broker fee, security deposit requirements, and utilities). Also confirm lease terms, when rent increases can apply, and any one-time move-in charges.

How does Openigloo help me choose between buildings?

Openigloo lets you compare buildings using renter signals such as ratings/review trends and open-data context, plus building-specific Q&A. Use these signals to ask better questions, but confirm key terms with the building.

If a building says “affordable,” why might my experience still differ?

Asking rent and unit availability change over time, and different apartments in the same building can price differently. Maintenance, noise, and building policies are unit-dependent too, so review notes and ask questions before applying.
