What does the “good-cause” filter mean on this Gowanus buildings page?

It’s a tenant-protection category used to flag buildings where certain rent increases and non-renewal paths are more restricted than standard cases. Still confirm how those rules apply to your specific lease and renewal scenario.

Are these buildings specifically near the G train?

Yes. The page uses the g-train filter to focus your search around the G subway corridor within Gowanus. Use the map and double-check your route time from the building to your destinations.

How many buildings match this page’s filters right now?

Openigloo shows 49+ buildings matching the g-train + good-cause filters in Gowanus as of 2026-07-07.

What should I verify with the building before I commit?

Even with the good-cause filter, confirm renewal terms, any fees tied to your lease start, utility responsibility, and the exact process/timing for maintenance requests. Tenant Q&A is helpful, but policies can change.

Does the rating here tell me everything about a specific unit?

No. The page includes rating signals from rated buildings, but unit conditions can vary. Treat it as a cross-building signal and then ask about the specific unit you’re considering.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. This page is filtered for “good-cause” tenant protections and the G-train area, not for income-restricted or subsidized programs, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.
