Buildings with low rent increases near Edward R. Murrow High School in NYC

It’s a filter that groups buildings based on signals associated with lower rent-increase patterns. Still, the exact amount and timing can vary by unit and lease, so confirm the renewal and rent-adjustment language with the building.

The current eligible set is 10+ buildings (as of 2026-07-07). Use the building pages to compare specific units and current asking details.

No. The filter helps you shortlist buildings with lower-increase signals, but renewals are unit- and lease-specific. Ask for the renewal terms in writing and clarify how rent adjustments are determined for your unit.

Ask about renewal timelines, how rent adjustments are calculated, utility responsibility, any one-time fees at renewal, and expected turnaround for maintenance requests. Also confirm what costs are due at move-in beyond the first month’s rent.

They reflect experiences from renters in the building, but conditions can differ by unit (noise, layout, maintenance history). Use tenant Q&A as a starting point, then validate details for the specific unit you’re considering.

Compare more than the base rent: ask what’s included, total monthly cost (including fees and utilities), move-in requirements, and any building-level policies that affect your daily living. Then tour and confirm details that the filter can’t fully capture.

No single signal replaces direct verification. Use Openigloo’s signals to narrow and organize your research, then confirm the specifics (renewal mechanics, costs, and unit details) with the building management.
