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

No. This filter reflects market-relative affordability based on median asking rent versus the neighborhood median. It is not income-restricted, subsidized (including Section 8), NYCHA, HPD, or a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

If the asking rent looks affordable, what should I still budget for?

Confirm the full monthly cost beyond the asking rent. Broker fees, deposits, and utilities (and sometimes mandatory fees) can materially change the amount due each month and at move-in.

Are the signals on Openigloo enough to decide remotely?

They help you narrow the shortlist, but you still need to verify. Use building notes and tenant Q&A to ask better questions, then confirm details like repairs, move-in process, and any restrictions directly with the building or broker.

Do the building records and signals reflect current conditions?

They can lag real-world conditions, especially around issues like maintenance frequency. Use Openigloo to ask targeted questions and get the latest confirmation from staff before you sign.
