Buildings with low open violation rates near Gates Av station in NYC

It’s a filter pair in this view that narrows the set of buildings to those associated with the Gates Av station area. Use it to limit where you’re searching within NYC before comparing violation signals.

It’s based on open data showing open/active violations. Buildings on this page are those whose open-violation rate is lower than others in the dataset used by Openigloo.

No. The filter indicates a lower open-violation rate, not zero. You should still ask the building for the latest status and any recent corrective work tied to the units or systems you’ll rely on.

Yes. Open records come from NYC open data and may update slower than on-the-ground conditions. Treat this as a starting signal and confirm by asking the building about current conditions, recent repairs, and inspection timing.

Ask what violations (if any) are currently active, whether they relate to maintenance items relevant to your unit (hot water, heat, plumbing, pests), the repair timeline, and how tenant complaints are tracked and resolved.

Yes. Even with low-violation buildings, the full monthly cost matters (deposit and broker fees, and utilities if they’re billed separately). Confirm what you’ll pay before signing.

Look at renter Q&A and the context behind rated buildings, then compare unit-by-unit factors like layout, building services, and how quickly issues are addressed. Don’t rely on the filter alone to predict day-to-day experience.
