What does the “affordable” filter mean on this page?

It’s market-relative affordable: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not an income-restricted program, subsidy, NYCHA housing, HPD housing, Section 8, or a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Does “affordable” guarantee the specific apartment price will be low?

No. The filter is based on the building’s median asking rent. Individual units can be higher or lower depending on layout, floor, and availability, so verify the exact rent for the unit you’re considering.

Are there any extra costs I should budget for beyond the asking rent?

Yes. Even when the asking rent is market-relative affordable, the full monthly cost can be affected by fees and utilities expectations. Confirm what you’ll pay each month before applying.

What should I verify about the building before signing a lease?

Confirm the lease terms (renewal/termination details), move-in requirements, and any building rules that could affect your day-to-day (for example: laundry access, package process, or other operational policies). Use tenant Q&A when available, but verify with management for accuracy.
