What does “low-rent-increases” mean on this page?

It’s a regulatory-leaning filter focused on building-level signals related to how rent increases can work for tenants. Still, details vary by lease and situation, so verify the specific renewal terms and history with the building.

How do I confirm a building is really near the QM1 bus?

Treat it as a starting point. Check the exact cross streets and walk time from the building to your most common QM1 stop during both daylight and evening hours, and confirm the closest entrance for your move.

Are these buildings tied to any housing-lottery or income-restricted program?

No. This filter is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it is not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

What should I ask the building about rent increases before applying?

Ask for the renewal process and timeline, the latest available lease/renewal documentation, and what drives the year-over-year increase in your specific unit. Get clarity on notice requirements and any exceptions.

Does “low rent increases” guarantee the lowest rent possible?

No. It narrows the building set based on rent-growth expectations, but the final ask can still vary by unit, floor, layout, and current concessions. Compare the full offer and renewal language unit-by-unit.

How should I use Openigloo ratings here?

Use the rating for a quick comparison across rated buildings, then validate policies directly with the management team. Tenant experience can differ by unit and timing, so ask targeted questions about your situation.
