What does “market-relative affordable” mean on this page?

It means the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It’s not tied to income limits and it’s not an affordability program.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing (NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8)?

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

Does “affordable” guarantee my rent will stay low after I apply?

No. Asking rent and lease terms can differ from what you negotiate, and renewals can change. Confirm the lease details and any rent-change language with the building or managing agent.

What should I verify before signing for an M79-SBS bus commute?

Check the closest stop to the unit, your typical walking route, and whether the building’s location fits your schedule. Service patterns can affect how consistent the commute feels.

Are the ratings and signals on Openigloo a substitute for talking to the building?

No. Use them to identify patterns and ask better questions. Still confirm unit-specific facts directly with the building, especially around maintenance, noise, and any move-in requirements.
