Good cause buildings near 96 St station in NYC

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection category on Openigloo. It focuses the search on buildings where certain rent-increase actions and non-renewal decisions are more limited. Confirm the exact protections that apply to your unit and lease type on the building page and in writing with the management team.

This page shows 825+ eligible buildings as of 2026-07-07. Use the filters and building pages to find which ones currently have apartments available and match your move-in timing.

No. The filter is a regulatory-category starting point. Your lease, unit details, and the building’s specific procedures still matter, so you should ask management to confirm renewal terms and how rent changes are handled for your situation.

Ask how rent increases are communicated and documented, how renewals are processed, and what circumstances could affect renewal. Also confirm any unit-specific rules (utilities, fee schedule, and what’s included in the rent).

Yes. Even with tenant protections, the full monthly cost can change based on deposits, broker-related costs, and utilities. Review the full fee breakdown shown for the building and ask for a written estimate of your total monthly amount.

Openigloo combines tenant reviews with open-data checks and notes that can help flag operational patterns. These signals support screening, but they don’t replace a direct question to the building about your lease terms and renewal process.

Start with the building page for Openigloo context, then request the lease document and ask management to explain how renewal and rent-change actions work for your specific unit and lease term. Make sure you get the details in writing.
