What does “affordable” mean on this page?

It’s market-relative affordable housing, not income-restricted housing. Openigloo flags buildings where the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. The filter reflects asking-rent levels, not subsidies.

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

No. This page is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8 or any housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Does “near the B train” mean I’ll be able to take the B line from my building?

Not automatically. The filter groups buildings by proximity to B train service areas. Confirm your exact commute (walk time, transfer options, and first/last train timing).

How can I estimate what I’ll actually pay each month?

Start with the asking rent, then confirm the full monthly cost: broker fee (if applicable), required deposit(s), utilities, and any monthly building fees. Move-in promos can change the first months, so ask for the effective ongoing total.

What should I ask the landlord or management before applying?

Ask about lease term options, renewal/tenant protections on rent changes, included utilities, laundry/storage, and any restrictions that affect your household. Also confirm current availability and any move-in documentation requirements.

Will building reviews and open-data signals reflect today’s condition?

They can lag real-world conditions. Use them to spot patterns, then verify directly with the building for current maintenance status, recent changes, and any active notices.
