What does “2-train” mean on this Central Harlem page?

It’s the location filter for buildings near the 2 train within Central Harlem, so your commute is centered on that line. Still, verify walking time from the building address to your usual station entrance.

What does “low rent increases” indicate?

It’s a building-level filter intended to surface buildings with lower expected rent increase patterns versus other options. You should still confirm renewal terms and the exact rent-increase mechanism with the building for your specific lease.

How is Openigloo helping me beyond the filter?

Openigloo aggregates building signals and tenant Q&A so you can compare how buildings operate in practice. Use it to ask better questions about renewal handling, fees, and management responsiveness.

What costs should I budget for besides the asking rent?

Even with a low-increase profile, your decision should account for the full monthly cost (including fees, deposits, and utilities) and any recurring building charges that apply after move-in.

Does “low rent increases” guarantee the rent won’t rise in my lease?

No. The filter helps narrow the field, but rent changes depend on the lease, renewal terms, and how rent adjustments are applied. Ask the leasing office for the written terms that apply to your unit.

How should I use tenant Q&A responsibly?

Treat it as lived experience, not official policy. Use it to find patterns worth verifying, then confirm key points with the building directly before signing.
