Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood or building rating. It refers to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under the law, but you still need to review the lease and building details.

The $4,060 median rent is a useful benchmark for the current studio market on this page. Since studios are small and the unit count is 136+, budget for the full monthly cost, not just the asking rent.

No. 'Good cause' is not an affordable-housing program. These are market-rate apartments for rent in good cause buildings, so they are not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

Good cause and rent-stabilized are different regulatory categories. Good cause focuses on certain tenant protections in qualifying buildings, while rent stabilization is a separate system with its own rules for rent increases and renewals.

Ask about the full monthly cost, including utilities, deposits, move-in fees, and any broker fee. For studios, also confirm the layout, storage, laundry access, and whether the space works as both sleeping and living space.
