Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M23-SBS Chelsea Piers - East Side in NYC

It shows apartments in buildings that may fall under good cause tenant protections. Those rules can limit certain rent increases and non-renewals, but they do not change every lease term. Confirm the unit’s status and the exact protections with the landlord or agent before you apply.

There are 176+ studio apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $4,389. Use both numbers together when you budget, since studio inventory and pricing can shift quickly near this transit area.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not official affordable housing. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted, subsidized, lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

Openigloo groups apartments by building-level tenant-protection status from the page’s scope and source data. That means the filter is about whether the building may fall under good cause rules, not about neighborhood pricing or government housing programs.

Ask about application fees, security deposit, broker fee, utilities, and any lease clauses tied to renewals or rent increases. Good cause protections can still leave room for other move-in costs and lease-specific requirements.

Check how the sleeping area fits in the studio layout, where the kitchen is placed, how much storage you get, and whether the bathroom setup works for your routine. In small units, these details can matter more than square footage alone.
