What does “bx12-sbs-bus” mean on this page?

It’s a location filter for Manhattan buildings near the BX12-SBS bus corridor. Use it to narrow your search to buildings that are closer to that route based on Openigloo’s building-to-transit mapping signals.

What does “low-rent-increases” mean here?

It flags buildings where the observed rent-change patterns (from open-data signals) point to smaller increases compared with typical patterns. It does not mean rent won’t change—only that the recent history suggests more limited increases.

Is the “low-rent-increases” filter specific to renewals, new leases, or both?

In practice, rent-change behavior can vary by whether you’re renewing or starting a new lease. Before you commit, ask the building or management what increase expectations look like for your exact lease situation.

How should I use Openigloo details before applying?

Start with the building’s filter match, then confirm unit-level items: total monthly cost, utilities, deposit and any other required fees, lease start/renewal terms, and how increases are communicated. Use renter Q&A and building notes to spot recurring issues.

Do tenant reviews replace asking the building directly?

No. Reviews can help you understand day-to-day management, but your application should still include direct questions about renewal timing, increase calculation, and any paperwork requirements that can affect your move-in or lease renewal.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this Manhattan scope?

What if I’m comparing buildings with similar matches but different rent-change histories?

Ask for the specifics that matter to you: what rent changes were in the most recent renewal cycle, whether the building uses consistent rules across units, and whether there are unit exceptions. If possible, confirm in writing what to expect at your renewal date.
