What does the SIM1 part of the filter do?

It narrows eligible buildings to those near the SIM1 bus corridor in Manhattan, so your commute options match your route preference before you look at individual units.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. This filter is about market-relative asking-rent levels, not income-restricted programs, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

How should I interpret “market-relative” affordability when comparing units?

Use it as a starting point. The building-level median asking rent may not match the exact unit pricing you’re viewing, so compare the unit’s monthly rent and total move-in/ongoing costs.

Does “affordable” mean there’s a guaranteed lower total cost?

No. The full monthly cost can still be higher once you include broker fees (if any), deposits, and utilities. Always confirm the complete cost breakdown with the building or leasing office.

What should I verify before applying to a building?

Confirm unit-specific rent, any fees, lease term and renewal language, and whether there are any restrictions that affect eligibility or move-in timing. Also verify the actual proximity to your preferred SIM1 stop(s).

Are the Openigloo signals enough to decide, or do I still need to ask the building?

You still need to ask. Openigloo can help you compare buildings, but lease terms, pricing, and conditions change by unit and over time, so confirm details with the building directly before you sign.
