No. This filter is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8. It also isn’t a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

Openigloo helps you compare buildings using rating signals from rated buildings plus building-level information and tenant Q&A. Still, policies can change—use the Q&A and confirm the latest details directly with the building.

Ratings are building-level signals aggregated across rated buildings. Individual units can have different layouts, conditions, and terms, so treat the rating as a screening input, not a guarantee.

Yes. “Near the 1 train” is based on location proximity, but your actual commute depends on where you enter the station and where you’re headed. Use the building details and ask questions about the closest entrance and typical walk time.
