Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M72 East Side - West Side in Yorkville, Manhattan

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category for certain buildings. It is not a neighborhood and it is not a price filter. Use it to focus on apartments for rent that may have limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals, then confirm the building’s status with the agent or landlord.

There are 94+ apartments for rent in this page’s scope as of 2026-07-06. That is the current inventory Openigloo is showing for this transit-and-neighborhood search.

The median rent is $5,156. Use that as a rough market check, but the total monthly cost can still be higher once you factor in fees, utilities, and any required deposits.

No. Good cause is a market and tenant-protection filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery units, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

Start with the asking rent, then add the full monthly cost if you have broker fees, deposits, utilities, or amenity charges. A protected building can still have a high rent, so check the lease terms and renewal conditions before applying.

The trending neighborhoods are East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

Confirm that the unit is actually in a good cause building, ask whether the protection applies to your lease type, and check for any move-in fees, renewal limits, or other restrictions that could affect your stay.
