What to check before choosing an affordable building in NYC
- Expect market-relative affordable rents, which means the building's median asking rent is below the neighborhood's median.
- Verify the full monthly cost including broker fees, deposits, and utilities, which can affect affordability.
- Confirm whether the building allows pets and inquire about any associated fees or restrictions.
- Understand that affordable buildings may still have lease terms and conditions that differ from typical rentals.
- Research open violations and tenant complaints to gauge building conditions before signing a lease.
