Buildings with low open violation rates near the X27 bus in Gowanus

It’s a filter for buildings with lower counts of open housing-related violations in the open-data signals Openigloo uses. It’s meant to help you narrow options, but you should still confirm the current situation with management.

The results are restricted to the Gowanus neighborhood and the building’s proximity to the X27 corridor, so your commute to stops along that route stays in-scope. Still, check the exact stop closest to the unit.

No. It indicates a lower level of open items in the available records, which can lag real-world conditions. Ask for the latest updates (and any planned repairs) before you sign.

Openigloo combines resident-driven inputs (like ratings and written feedback) with open-data indicators tied to housing-condition reporting. Use both: feedback tells you what people are experiencing; the open-data signals provide a separate check.

Ask about current maintenance timelines, any known recurring problems, the current lease terms, and the move-in process. If there are prior issues, request what has been corrected and what is still in progress.

Yes. Open-record signals can lag behind what’s happening now, and conditions can change. Treat the filter as a screening tool and confirm details directly with the building.
