What does “affordable” mean on this page?

It’s market-relative affordability: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not income-restricted housing and not tied to a lottery, subsidy, or NYCHA/HPD program.

Does “affordable” guarantee a lower total monthly cost?

Not by itself. The asking rent can look affordable, but you still need to compare the full monthly cost (deposit and broker fee, plus utilities and any building fees) before committing.

What does the “new-design-high-school” part of the filter do?

It narrows buildings to those mapped near New Design High School, so you can focus on commute and location while keeping the rent filter in place.

Are these buildings income-restricted or subsidized (for example, Section 8)?

No. This filter is market-relative based on asking rents. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8 (and not a housing-lottery program).

Do “affordable” buildings have fewer availability options?

Availability varies building by building. Use the current “with available apartments” signals when shown to prioritize units that are actively being offered now.

How reliable are the signals like reviews and open-data indicators?

They help you screen and ask better questions, but they don’t replace asking the building directly about fees, utilities, lease terms, and any restrictions that apply to your unit type.

What should I ask the landlord or super before signing?

Ask for the exact fee breakdown (broker fee, deposits, utilities), included amenities, maintenance response expectations, and any move-in requirements (proof of income, ID, or application steps) that affect timing.
