Good cause buildings near Academy of Urban Planning in NYC

It’s a tenant-protection category intended to flag buildings that meet the “good cause” eligibility rules Openigloo tracks. It doesn’t guarantee how every specific lease will be applied, so you should review the renewal and rent-increase terms with the building.

This page currently includes 847+ buildings in scope, based on the live Openigloo dataset snapshot.

No. “Good cause” eligibility is tied to building-level criteria and the lease context. Policies can vary by contract and renewal circumstances, so confirm the exact terms for the unit you’re considering.

Ask about the renewal process, how rent changes are handled under the specific lease offer, what notice periods apply, and whether there are any exceptions or special conditions attached to your unit.

Often yes. Even with tenant protections, you’ll still want to confirm security deposit amounts, any broker or application fees (if applicable), and recurring charges like utilities that may not be included in the asking rent.

They can provide practical context on what happens in real leasing interactions, but they are not a substitute for your lease documents. Use them alongside direct questions to the building and your written lease terms.

Openigloo’s signals are based on available records and the current dataset, but eligibility and availability can change. If something is time-sensitive, verify it with the building and re-check details when you’re ready to apply.
