What does “BM2 bus” mean on this buildings page?

It narrows the results to Kensington buildings that are near the BM2 bus corridor, so you can compare options with a similar transit baseline.

What does “low-historic-violations” mean here?

It’s an eligibility filter based on historical violation signals in public records. It helps you shortlist buildings with fewer signals, but it does not replace a current walkthrough and direct questions to management.

How should I use this to shortlist apartments for rent?

Use the 9+ building set to compare maintenance-related themes from tenant Q&A and Openigloo review signals, then tour the top candidates and confirm the specific items you care about (repairs, cleanliness, pest control, and response times).

If a building is flagged “low historical violations,” is it guaranteed to have no issues?

No. “Low” is based on past records and may not reflect day-to-day conditions right now. Ask the building directly about current processes and recent fixes.

Are there fees or move-in costs I should confirm even after I shortlist?

Yes. Beyond the rent, confirm the full monthly cost you’ll actually pay (any deposits, broker/admin fees, and required utility setup) and whether any fees are due at signing or move-in.

What should I ask during a tour to validate the “low-violation” signal?

Ask about how maintenance requests are handled, typical response times, recent major repairs, and documentation they can provide. Also check common areas for cleanliness and signs of recurring problems.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

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