Buildings with low open violation rates near the 5 train in West Farms

It’s an Openigloo filter that favors buildings with lower counts of open violations based on publicly available NYC records. It’s meant to help you compare buildings, not replace a direct conversation with the building.

The page is scoped to West Farms and focuses on buildings near the 5 train corridor so you can shortlist options by commute fit while still comparing multiple buildings side by side.

No. Low open violation rates reduce the likelihood of certain open problems, but conditions can change after the data snapshot. Ask the building what’s currently being addressed and what timelines look like.

They come from NYC open records. Because records update on their own schedule, the filter may lag real-world conditions. Use it to start questions, not to make a final decision by itself.

Ask who handles maintenance, how quickly work orders get closed, whether there are recurring issues, and what documentation (if any) the building can share about past repairs tied to violations.

Use it to shortlist buildings first. Before signing, confirm unit availability, total monthly cost details (including deposits/fees), and any rules that affect move-in and occupancy.
