No. This page’s “affordable” filter is market-relative based on asking rents. It does not indicate income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery programs.

It means the building is matched to the M14A-SBS corridor area used by Openigloo’s location filtering. Distances can vary by block, so confirm walking time and access routes for your typical schedule.

Confirm the full monthly cost (broker fee, security deposit, and utilities/recurring charges), what’s included, and any anticipated rent changes at renewal. Ask management to itemize costs so you’re not surprised after move-in.

You can review building-level notes and renter Q&A to understand patterns like responsiveness, maintenance, noise, or move-in friction. Use these as signals, not guarantees, and confirm details that affect your unit.

Not guaranteed. The filter is based on current asking-rent data used to calculate market-relative affordability. Rents can change between listings and renewals, so re-check terms before moving forward.

The 152+ buildings count reflects what matches the filters at the moment you view the page. As listings update, eligibility can shift—so it’s worth saving a shortlist and re-checking when you’re ready to apply.
