Good cause buildings near the B52 bus in Boerum Hill

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection regulatory category in Openigloo filters. It’s meant to flag buildings where certain rent increases and non-renewal actions are more constrained than in standard situations, but you should confirm the details with the building for the specific unit and lease.

This filter groups buildings that are located close enough to the B52 route to be relevant for commuting. Still, block-to-block differences can matter, so confirm your walk time and the route’s reliability for your schedule.

No. Filters help you narrow options, but protections can depend on unit, lease terms, and how the building documents apply. Verify directly with leasing before signing any lease.

Start on this page to compare building-level signals and renter Q&A, then shortlist the buildings that match your must-haves. Use what you learn to prepare questions for the leasing office about repairs, move-in steps, and any policy details.

Ask how renewal works for your specific lease, what rent changes may apply, how non-renewal rules are handled, and how the building documents protections for your unit.

Not automatically. Even with tenant-protection categories, you still need to compare the asking rent to your budget and factor in the full monthly cost beyond rent (deposits, recurring charges, and required fees if applicable).
