What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a tenant-behavior signal derived from building-level history in Openigloo data. It’s meant to help you prioritize buildings where residents tend to stay, but it doesn’t replace confirming current lease terms with the landlord or super.

How does the “5-train” filter work on this page?

It scopes the building search to Brooklyn buildings near the 5 train corridor (based on the building’s location in Openigloo). Use each building page to confirm walking time and whether your exact commute matches your expectations.

Is there a difference between “tenant retention” and building amenities?

Yes. Amenities can change, but retention is about how tenants continue living there. Treat retention as a starting signal, then verify amenities, maintenance responsiveness, and building rules for the specific unit.

What should I check before signing a lease for a high-retention building?

Ask about renewal timing and rent changes, how repairs are requested and tracked, package/delivery handling, noise/privacy expectations, and any restrictions tied to the specific apartment (floor, exposure, or building wing).

Do the building signals here guarantee the lease or apartment I want?

No. Even when a building has high retention, individual apartments can differ by layout, condition, and landlord policies for that unit type. Confirm details for the exact apartment you’re considering.
