What does “good cause” mean on this buildings page?

On Openigloo, “good cause” is a regulatory/tenant-protection category used to surface buildings where the good-cause rules may apply. It’s not a unit guarantee; confirm with the building/manager how it applies to the specific lease and situation.

How does the “near the 5 train” filter work?

This filter narrows the search to buildings close to the 5 train corridor in Cobble Hill. Still, distance and commute time vary by exact address, so verify the walk route and timing for the specific unit.

Are these apartments income-restricted or subsidized?

No. “Good cause” and the 5-train proximity filter are not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery program.

Will a “good cause” building mean my rent can never increase?

Not necessarily. Good-cause rules limit certain increases and non-renewals, but rent can still change. Ask the building/manager for the unit’s renewal history and how changes are handled for that lease type.

What should I ask about renewals if I’m viewing a good-cause unit?

Ask how renewals are handled for your lease type, what timelines are used, and what documentation the building provides for renewal decisions. Also ask who the leasing contact is and how written notices are delivered.

How reliable are Openigloo signals compared with what the building says?

Openigloo helps you narrow options, but you should treat tenant Q&A and building-level signals as starting points. Confirm current availability, exact terms, and any unit-specific rules directly with the building or management.
