“Good cause” is a tenant-protection regulatory filter related to limits on certain non-renewals and rent increases. Openigloo uses the category to group eligible buildings so you can compare options under that rule set.

There are 2,808+ buildings in this scope as of 2026-07-07. Use the filters and building pages to verify unit availability and lease details.

No. “Good cause” is not an income-restricted program and it’s not subsidized housing. It’s also not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Confirm the renewal and rent-change language in writing, ask about any required deposits/fees and utility responsibilities, and verify the status of the unit you’re considering. Also ask how requests for repairs are handled and how quickly they’re addressed.

They reflect what renters reported for rated buildings, but conditions can change. Treat reviews as a starting point, then ask the building directly during your tour about maintenance turnaround, inspections, and how policies are enforced.

It’s a helpful starting point, but commute time depends on how far you are from stops, time of day, and transfers. Confirm the exact walk to your likely stop and do a quick route check before committing.
