What does “affordable” mean on this page?

It’s a market-relative filter: a building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not an income-restricted program and it does not mean rents are regulated.

How many buildings match the filters right now?

There are 79+ eligible buildings in this NYC scope for the Academy for Software Engineering + affordable pairing (as of 2026-07-07).

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

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

Does the “affordable” filter guarantee my actual monthly payment?

No. The filter compares asking-rent medians, but your total monthly cost still depends on the specific apartment, move-in fees/deposits, and utilities. Confirm the full budget before signing.

What should I verify before applying to a building?

Confirm lease terms (renewal and increase language), documentation requirements, and any tenant-paid items. If you’re using a budget plan, include deposits/fees and realistic utility costs.

Will the building’s affordability hold for the exact unit I choose?

Not necessarily. The filter is based on building-level median asking rent vs the neighborhood median. Individual apartments can be higher or lower depending on layout, floor, and current specials.

How does Openigloo help me compare buildings quickly?
