What does “affordable” mean on this page?

On Openigloo, affordable buildings are those where the building’s median asking rent is below Hell’s Kitchen’s neighborhood median. This is market-relative affordable, not income-restricted housing or a subsidy program.

Does this page include income-restricted or subsidized housing (like Section 8, HPD, or NYCHA)?

No. This page is based on market-relative rent levels (median asking rent vs. neighborhood median). It is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

How does the SIM26 bus filter work for “near the SIM26 bus”?

It groups buildings that are in practical proximity to the SIM26 route/stop area. Walking time and block-by-block distance still matter, so confirm commute time from the building address to your typical stop.

Are fees and utilities included in the rent shown here?

Usually, asking rent on listings doesn’t cover everything. You should confirm the full monthly cost with the building or management, including broker fee (if applicable), deposit requirements, and which utilities you must pay.

What should I verify before applying to an affordable building?

Ask about current concessions (if any), lease start and renewal terms, income/eligibility requirements that are unrelated to this filter, and any building-specific rules that could change your monthly cost.

How reliable are tenant reports and building signals on Openigloo?

Openigloo compiles renter input and open-data signals, but conditions can change. Use reviews and Q&A as a starting point, then ask the building for written confirmation on anything you’re planning to rely on.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?
