Pet-friendly buildings near International High School at Union Square in NYC

It means the building is flagged as allowing pets under the page’s filter criteria. It’s not a guarantee for any particular pet, so you should confirm fees, breed/weight/count limits, and required documentation with the building.

No. The page count reflects eligible buildings (at least one building that matches the filter pair). Availability of specific apartments can change, so confirm current unit listings after you shortlist buildings.

Ask for the exact pet policy terms: allowed animals, any restrictions (breed/weight/number), pet rent vs one-time fees, deposit/refundability, required paperwork, and how approvals work for each pet.

Often yes—many buildings charge pet rent and/or a pet deposit. The safest approach is to request a full fee breakdown in writing, including any one-time nonrefundable amounts.

The building may still approve exceptions case-by-case, but that’s not something you can assume from the filter. Ask whether exceptions are considered and what criteria are used.

Filters can be wrong or outdated if a building changes its policy. Use Openigloo for comparison and context, then confirm the current policy directly with the building before committing.

Shortlist based on your commute and building fit, then compare policy details (fees, limits, paperwork) and tenant Q&A threads that mention pet enforcement or approval timelines.
