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

It’s a regulatory category within Openigloo’s filter set. It groups buildings based on the underlying signals associated with lower rent-increase patterns, but you still need to confirm the exact renewal and rent-change terms for the specific unit.

How does the M101 bus filter work here?

This page is scoped to buildings in West Harlem that match the low-rent-increases category and are near the M101 bus corridor. You can use it to narrow your search to places that fit your commute.

Are these rent-increase rules guaranteed for every unit and every year?

No. Even within the same regulatory category, unit-level leases, renewal timing, and how rent changes are applied can vary. Treat the filter as a starting point and confirm the terms directly for the unit you want.

What should I ask at the viewing before I apply?

Ask about renewal timing and process, how the rent is calculated for your exact lease term, what fees (if any) apply, and what paperwork you’ll need to submit. If the building relies on specific documentation, get the list in writing.

How should I use Openigloo’s ratings on this page?

Use the rated-building score as context, then read the notes and Q&A themes to spot recurring issues (communication, maintenance follow-through, or renewal friction). Scores are helpful for triage, but they do not replace asking management your specific questions.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

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

No. The low-rent-increases filter is not the same thing as income-restricted housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.
