Good cause buildings near the BX38 bus in University Heights

“Good cause” is a regulatory tenant-protection category on Openigloo. It’s meant to reflect limitations on certain rent increases and non-renewals, but the exact applicability can vary by building and unit—confirm protections and lease terms with the building.

This page is scoped to BX38 bus + Good Cause and the University Heights neighborhood, but you should still check each building card for whether there are apartments advertised right now.

The University Heights scope shows an average of 2.1/5 across 9 rated buildings. Ratings are for the building, and individual units can differ.

Ask about lease length, renewal expectations, rent increases (including what happens after any initial term), move-in fees/deposit requirements, and what policies apply to your unit. Also confirm any building rules that can affect your day-to-day.

They may apply based on the building and unit’s regulatory status, but you should treat the tag as a starting point. Confirm in writing (or via a documented tenant-friendly summary) what protections apply to your lease.

Open-data signals are useful for screening, but they can lag reality. Verify current conditions during a tour and ask management about maintenance practices, pest-control history, and any recent policy changes.
