What does "good cause buildings" mean on this page?

It refers to apartments in buildings that may fall under good cause tenant protections, which can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It does not change every lease term, so read the lease and ask how the protection applies to the specific unit.

How many apartments for rent are in this West Village scope?

There are 49 apartments for rent in good cause buildings in West Village right now, with a median rent of $6,053.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not an affordable-housing program. These apartments are still market-rate apartments for rent, so the asking rent and lease terms can vary by building and unit.

How should I compare rent in this neighborhood?

Use the median rent of $6,053 as a reference point, then compare the unit’s full monthly cost. Broker fees, deposits, utilities, and any move-in charges can materially change what you pay.

What factors can affect affordability here?

Location within West Village, building age, amenities, lease length, and whether the unit has added fees can all affect monthly cost. A lower asking rent may still be expensive once concessions and extra charges are included.

How do building reviews help when applying?

Openigloo can show renter feedback on buildings and landlords when available, which can help you spot patterns around maintenance, communication, and move-in or renewal issues before you apply.

How do I know if a good cause building changes my lease or renewal?

Ask the agent or landlord how the building is treated, whether any protections apply to your unit, and whether there are renewal limits, fees, or notice requirements that affect you.
