Buildings with low open violation rates near the BM5 bus in Starrett City

It’s based on NYC open records showing fewer active (“open”) building violations for the building you’re viewing. Openigloo surfaces these signals so you can compare buildings, but you should still ask management about current conditions and any recent fixes.

Use it to shortlist buildings within practical reach of the BM5 route. Then confirm commute time from your preferred stop, how you’ll get to the station during off-peak hours, and whether the walk feels workable at night.

They can overlap, but they measure different things. The filter is an open-data signal about active violations; reviews reflect tenant experiences. Use both to spot patterns and to identify what to ask about directly.

Not always. Data may lag behind what’s happening in the building. If a building has any relevant history, ask for the current status of repairs and whether maintenance issues have been addressed.

Confirm maintenance response times, the current status of any listed issues, and the process for submitting requests. Also confirm lease terms, fees, and what costs you’ll pay at move-in (not just the monthly rent).

No. The filter reduces the likelihood of ongoing issues, but it does not guarantee specific outcomes for any unit or for future maintenance. Always verify details with management before you sign.
