What does “b61-bus” mean on this page?

How does “high-retention” work for buildings?

The page uses an Openigloo signal that prioritizes buildings where tenant retention is higher than typical. It’s a useful stability indicator, but it does not replace asking the building specific questions about maintenance, renewals, and day-to-day operations.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 21+ buildings in the Gowanus scope that match this multi-filter pair on Openigloo.

Is “high tenant retention” a guarantee about lease renewals or service quality?

No. Retention is about observed staying behavior, not a contract. You should still ask how renewals are handled, what costs may change at renewal, and how maintenance requests are triaged and tracked.

What should I ask during a tour to validate what retention suggests?

Ask about current maintenance response times, recent repairs in the unit you’re considering, noise control, trash/recycling logistics, and whether any policies changed recently (pets, packages, laundry, or utilities).

Are there any extra steps I should take before applying?

Yes: confirm your exact move-in date, the deposit/broker and any other one-time fees, and the full set of monthly charges beyond the asking rent so your total budget is accurate.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

Bushwick with 12,589+ buildings; Stuyvesant Heights with 7,834+ buildings; Park Slope with 7,025+ buildings; Flatbush with 5,564+ buildings; Downtown Brooklyn with 3,920+ buildings.
