What does “low open violations” mean on this page?

It refers to the open-violation signals shown in Openigloo’s dataset for these buildings, pulled from NYC open records. Use it as a shortlist indicator, not a guarantee about current building conditions.

How current is the violation data?

Open-records data can lag real-world conditions. Before signing, ask the building directly about the status of any recent complaints or repairs that aren’t yet reflected in the dataset.

Does “near-transit” mean the building is walkable to a specific subway line?

It means the building is flagged as being near transit based on the page’s near-transit criteria. Still, confirm your exact route time during the hours you’d commute.

Are low-violation buildings the same as no-violation buildings?

No. “Low” is a comparative filter based on the dataset signal. Ask what kinds of issues are still being tracked and whether there are any ongoing maintenance items.

Can I rely on these filters to choose the safest building?

They help you triage. Use the filter results to start conversations, then verify in person: ask about repairs, pest control practices, and how maintenance requests are handled.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

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

What should I check before making an offer on a unit here?

Confirm the move-in timeline, total monthly cost (rent plus required fees/deposit and any utilities), and ask for any building policies that affect day-to-day living (packages, maintenance requests, and access rules).
