Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M106 East Harlem - West Side in Upper West Side, Manhattan

It shows apartments for rent in buildings that fall under New York’s good cause tenant-protection rules. That can affect certain rent increases and non-renewal rights, but it does not replace the need to review the lease and building details.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not an income-restricted or subsidized housing program. These are market-rate apartments for rent with protections that may apply to some renewals and rent increases.

It is based on the page’s scope and the rent data Openigloo uses for that scope, not on income limits. The filter identifies buildings tied to the good cause category, so you should still compare asking rent, lease terms, and total move-in costs.

The 49+ count tells you there are at least 49 current studio apartments for rent in this search scope, and the $4,295 median rent is the middle asking rent among those results. Together they help you gauge supply and typical pricing.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit amount, utilities, guarantor rules, pet rules if relevant, and any lease clauses tied to rent increases or renewal timing. The asking rent may not reflect the full monthly cost.

Location near the M106, building age, amenities, lease length, and included utilities can all change the true cost. A lower asking rent can still end up costing more once fees and monthly extras are added.

Openigloo lets you review building feedback and landlord patterns so you can compare studios beyond the asking rent. That is useful in good cause buildings, where the lease details and building history still matter.
