Good cause buildings near 116 St-Columbia University station in NYC

It’s a tenant-protection category on Openigloo. Buildings tagged under “good cause” are grouped for renters who want to focus their search on this regulatory protection type.

There are 407+ eligible buildings on this page as of 2026-07-07.

Not necessarily. “Good cause” and “rent-stabilized” are different filter categories, so some buildings may match one filter without matching the other.

The filter is applied at the building level for your search scope. For any specific unit, confirm the lease terms and protections in writing with the building or management.

Confirm the lease start/end dates, any renewal language, required deposits/fees, and the building’s policies that affect your day-to-day (maintenance expectations, move-in process, and how requests are handled).

Yes. Even when the building qualifies under a filter, you still need to ask about broker fees, deposit amounts, and any building charges that can change your full monthly cost.

Use Openigloo’s building pages and renter Q&A to identify recurring concerns and what to verify on tour. If the building page includes open-data signals, use them as a prompt for targeted questions rather than as a substitute for contacting management.
