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

No. This “affordable” filter is market-relative based on asking rent medians, not income-restricted housing, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not a Section 8 or housing-lottery program.

What costs should I confirm beyond the asking rent?

Confirm the full monthly and move-in costs: deposit, any broker or application fees, utilities, and any one-time charges listed by the building or management. Asking rent alone can miss the true monthly total.

Do I need to worry about lease terms when comparing affordable buildings?

Yes. Affordable buildings can still have different lease lengths, renewal practices, and move-in requirements. Ask the building for the exact lease term, renewal details, and any conditions tied to the unit you want.
