What does “high-retention” mean on this Chelsea buildings page?

What should I verify before applying or signing, even if the building is high-retention?

Ask about the specific apartment’s conditions and the lease you’ll sign: maintenance process and turnaround, any move-in requirements, and policies that affect daily living (packages, laundry, noise rules). Tenant Q&A can highlight what to ask, but you still need confirmation from the building.

Does high tenant retention mean the building will be affordable or rent-stable for me?

No. Retention describes tenant stays, not affordability levels or guaranteed rent behavior for your lease. Always review the exact monthly rent, any increases, and the full cost items tied to the unit you want.

What data on Openigloo can I use to compare these buildings?

You can compare across building pages using tenant Q&A and rated-building context (where available), and then cross-check any flags by asking the leasing office targeted questions.
