Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It generally refers to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under applicable rules, but you should still read the lease and confirm the building’s status before applying.

Pet-friendly means the building or unit allows pets, but it is not a guarantee for any specific pet. Confirm breed, weight, number of pets, pet fees, deposits, and any documentation requirements with the agent before you apply.

No. Affordable and protected-sounding filters on Openigloo are not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. This page is for market-rate apartments that meet the good cause and pet-friendly filters.

This page does not use the affordable filter. For Openigloo’s affordable pages, the threshold is market-relative: it is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, not an official housing program.

Location within Chelsea, building age, amenities, lease length, pet fees, and move-in costs can all change the real monthly cost. The asking rent is only part of the budget, so check broker fees, deposits, utilities, and any recurring charges.

With a median rent of $6,517, it helps to compare the asking rent against your total monthly cost, not just the headline price. Building reviews and lease terms can also affect long-term affordability if rent changes or fees are higher than expected.
