What does the “low-rent-increases” filter mean for buildings in Gowanus?

It’s a filter designed to surface buildings where modeled rent increases are lower. Still, renewal outcomes depend on the specific lease, unit history, and building management, so you should ask the building directly about renewal timing and increase mechanics.

How does the R-train filter work on this page?

It limits the search to buildings in the Gowanus scope that are near the R train corridor. Because “near” can vary by address, confirm commute details for the specific building you’re considering.

Does this page guarantee a rent amount or a specific future increase?

No. Filters can help you narrow the field, but they can’t guarantee a rent figure for your unit. Use Openigloo to compare options, then get written answers from the building about renewal and current rent terms.

What should I check before signing a lease, even if the building matches the filters?

Verify renewal terms, total move-in cost (deposit, any broker fee if applicable, and utilities), and the building’s move-in timeline and application requirements. The filters narrow options, but they don’t replace a lease review.

How reliable are the signals on Openigloo compared with what the building tells me?

Use Openigloo to shortlist and ask better questions. For anything legal or unit-specific (renewal rules, fee schedules, and documentation), the most reliable source is the building and the executed lease.
