Buildings with low open violation rates near the BX1 bus in Melrose

It’s an Openigloo filter based on available NYC open-record signals for buildings. Lower open violation rates are used to help you screen, but conditions can change—verify the current status with the building.

The results are limited to buildings in the Melrose area that fall within the page’s “near BX1 bus” location logic. Still, distance can feel different block-to-block, so confirm the walk time to your specific stop.

No. It means the building had fewer open items in the underlying data used by the filter. Ask about maintenance processes, recent work orders, and whether any ongoing issues are still active.

Ask for the latest violation status (and what’s closed vs. pending), repair timelines, who handles complaints, and how quickly work orders are addressed. If something is related to plumbing, heat, pests, or common areas, ask for the most recent remediation proof they have.

They’re a snapshot. The building count shown is 47+ as of 2026-07-07, and results can change as new buildings qualify or as underlying signals are updated.

Concourse with 1,709+ buildings; Fordham with 967+ buildings; University Heights with 836+ buildings; Soundview with 2,493+ buildings; Norwood with 741+ buildings.

Treat them as complementary. Use reviews to understand day-to-day maintenance and responsiveness, then use the violation signal to guide your shortlist. Always confirm current conditions directly with the building.
