No. Openigloo’s good cause filter is a market listing category tied to tenant protections, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing.

The page is filtered by building status, not by a rent-percentile formula. Openigloo uses the good cause designation as a tenant-protection category, so the key step is to verify the specific protections, lease language, and any renewal rules for the unit you’re considering.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utility costs, renewal terms, and whether the unit’s good cause status applies to your lease. Also confirm the commute from the apartment to the M103 stop you plan to use.

Location in Manhattan, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the real monthly cost. Even with a good cause building, fees and utilities can push the total above the asking rent.
