What does “low rent increases” mean on this page?

It’s a filter that surfaces buildings where Openigloo’s building-level signals indicate lower-than-typical rent-increase behavior. You still need to confirm the terms for the specific unit with the landlord or management in writing.

How should I interpret “near the M3 bus” for these buildings?

The page focuses on buildings located close to the M3 route area in Central Harlem. Walking time and stop choice vary by exact address, so confirm the route you’ll use and the typical travel time during the hours you care about.

Do these filters guarantee a cap on future rent changes?

No. The filters indicate a lower-increase pattern, but lease-specific rules and unit history can differ. Ask for the applicable rent guidance for your lease term and unit.

What should I verify before applying or signing?

Verify the total monthly cost (including utilities and any recurring fees), lease start and renewal terms, any required deposits, and policies that could affect move-in timing (documents, background checks, and required paperwork).

Is this an affordable-housing program or income-restricted housing?

No. This page is based on a low-rent-increase signal and location, not income-restriction, subsidy, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.

How does Openigloo help beyond the filters?
