Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near Q Train in Yorkville, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under the applicable rules, but it does not change the apartment type or guarantee a specific lease outcome.

There are 2 studio apartments for rent in this scope, with a median rent of $3,300.

No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or housing-lottery housing. This page uses a tenant-protection filter, not an official affordable-housing program.

Good cause and rent-stabilized are different categories. Good cause focuses on tenant-protection rules for certain buildings, while rent-stabilized housing is a separate regulatory framework with its own rent and renewal rules.

Confirm whether the building is currently covered, how renewals work, what notice is required, and whether any lease clauses or building-level rules affect your rights. Also ask about application fees, deposit, and broker fee.

For studio apartments, the $3,300 median rent is only one part of the budget. In a smaller unit, storage, kitchen setup, and one-bathroom layouts can affect how practical the apartment feels at the asking rent.
