No. Cleanliness scores reflect past tenant-reported experiences and observable building-level signals. Conditions can change between reviews, renovations, or staffing changes, so it’s still worth asking management how cleanliness is handled today.

Ask about cleaning schedules for common areas, how complaints are logged, and who is responsible for follow-up. If you care about things like trash areas, laundry rooms, or pest prevention, ask for the building’s written or documented process.

Openigloo combines tenant-submitted rating signals from rated buildings with building-page context and relevant open-data signals when available. Review the building page details and verify anything you’re relying on with the landlord or super.

They can be a useful clue, but they aren’t the same as maintenance SLAs. Treat cleanliness as one factor, and check separately how the building handles repairs, water leaks, appliances, and time-to-fix in tenant Q&A or building notes.

Message the building with 2–4 specific questions tied to cleanliness and your priorities (common area upkeep, trash/laundry management, complaint follow-up, and pest-prevention steps). Then compare their answers across the shortlisted buildings.
