What does “rent-stabilized” mean on this page?

It refers to buildings in the rent-stabilized regulatory category, where leases and rent increases follow specific protections. Always confirm the unit’s stabilization status with the building before you apply.

How does the SIM3 bus factor into the search?

The page filters buildings in Chinatown that are surfaced for renters prioritizing access near the SIM3 bus. Still, verify the walk time to the specific stop from the building entrance.

Are all 70+ buildings guaranteed to have available apartments right now?

This page focuses on buildings that match the rent-stabilized scope and SIM3-bus criteria, but availability can change. Check individual building pages for current listings before you contact anyone.

What should I ask the landlord or super before signing?

Ask for the unit’s current rent-stabilized status, the lease term offered, renewal expectations, and the complete move-in cost breakdown (broker fee, deposit, and any recurring charges).

Does a higher rating mean the building will be fine for my specific unit?

The score summarizes rated buildings and is useful for screening, but it can’t cover every unit experience. Pair it with tenant Q&A, recent notes on responsiveness, and a walkthrough.

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

No. This page is about rent-stabilized apartments and how they’re surfaced, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery affordable-housing programs.
