How do I use the B-train part of the filter in Central Harlem?

Treat it as a location filter for buildings near the B train. Use it to narrow commute-friendly options, then confirm the route and typical walking time from the building to your real destination.

How many buildings are eligible in this Central Harlem + B train + good-cause scope?

There are 875+ eligible buildings currently in this scope on Openigloo.

Does good-cause coverage mean the rent will be fixed for my whole lease?

No. Good-cause coverage affects certain renewal and increase pathways, but it does not replace reading your specific lease terms. Ask the building office how rent adjustments work for your unit and renewal timeline.

What should I confirm before moving forward with an application?

Confirm: the unit’s regulatory status (as it applies to your lease), renewal process timelines, any required documentation, and what the building requires for move-in. Also verify commuting details you rely on for the B-train filter.

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

No. This is a market-based “good cause” filter for regulatory tenant protections. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.
