No. This page is based on market-relative rent comparisons (affordable filter), not income-restricted or subsidized housing programs, and not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing.

The scope is tied to the DeKalb Av station area filter so you can focus your search on nearby buildings while still comparing the affordable rent signal across those buildings.

The filter is based on the building’s median asking rent, so individual units can be higher or lower than that median depending on the apartment, floor, finishes, and timing. Check the specific unit you’re considering.

Confirm the full monthly and move-in costs: deposit amounts, any broker fee, utilities (including internet/parking if applicable), and any building charges required at move-in.

Use Openigloo to narrow your list, then verify key details directly with the building or management. Lease terms, rent-change expectations, and any unit-specific conditions should be confirmed in writing.

Use them to spot recurring issues (maintenance timing, responsiveness, move-in experience) and to ask follow-up questions before applying. Tenant Q&A is especially useful for clarifying policies that vary by building.
