Is this filter income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing lottery?

No. This page is market-relative affordable based on asking-rent levels. It is not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

Does “near the B61 bus” guarantee the commute I want?

No. It helps you narrow by proximity, but walk time, stop placement, and service changes still affect your commute. Confirm the exact stop you’ll use and the typical timing for your route.

What costs should I expect beyond the asking rent?

Even when a building is labeled affordable, your total monthly cost can change based on broker fee, deposit, and which utilities are included. Ask the building (or leasing office) for the current breakdown before you apply.

What should I verify before signing a lease?

Check current lease terms, renewal language, and any fees tied to moving in. If you’re comparing buildings, also ask how rent changes are handled at renewal and what documents are required for approval.
