Pet-friendly buildings near Lexington Av/59 St station in NYC

It means the building matches the pet-friendly filter on Openigloo, but it is not a guarantee that every pet will be accepted. Fees, breed/weight/count limits, and required documentation still depend on the building’s policy.

Not always. Even within the same building, rules can vary by unit type, floor, or internal management practices. Confirm the policy for the exact apartment you’re considering before signing.

Get written answers on allowed pet type, maximum weight/size, limit on the number of pets, breed restrictions (if any), and what documentation or forms are required at move-in.

Often yes. Pet fees, deposits, and/or monthly pet charges can apply depending on the building. Ask for the full fee schedule so you can compare the total monthly cost, not just the asking rent.

Openigloo lets you filter and compare buildings, then review building-level context and renter-focused Q&A signals. Use those details to ask better questions during tours and application steps.

Policies can differ by building and may require specific documentation. The filter reflects pet-friendly status, but you should confirm acceptance for ESA/service animals directly with management.

Start with the building’s posted policy details on its page, then send a concise message listing your pet’s type, weight/size, and the number of pets. Ask for a written policy summary to avoid surprises later.
