What does “good-cause” mean on Openigloo for Central Harlem buildings?

It’s a tenant-protection category. The goal is to surface buildings that fall under rules intended to restrict certain non-renewals or major rent increases, but you should still review the exact lease terms for the unit you apply for.

How is “near transit” determined on this page?

It’s a filter that narrows results to buildings in the Central Harlem area with transit proximity. Since stations and walking routes vary block to block, confirm the specific route and time you plan to use.

Do all good-cause buildings near transit have the same lease terms?

No. The filter focuses on building-level eligibility, but lease details can still differ by unit. Check renewal language, any special terms, and the move-in date for the specific listing you’re considering.

What should I verify before signing or paying any fees?

Verify the total monthly and upfront costs tied to the unit (not just the rent) and confirm deposits, broker fee expectations, and any required documentation. Also confirm the unit you toured matches what’s being offered.

How reliable are the building ratings shown on Openigloo for Central Harlem?
