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

It’s a building-level signal based on how consistently tenants stay over time in the Openigloo dataset. Use it to prioritize stability, then confirm your specific unit’s lease details directly with the building.

How does the SIM3 bus filter work?

The page focuses on Chelsea buildings that are near the SIM3 bus route. Exact walking time can vary by block and entrance location, so check the route from the building to your daily destinations.

Is high tenant retention the same as rent-stabilization or tenant protections?

No. Retention is a pattern of stays, not a regulatory status. If you need rent regulation (or any specific protections), verify the unit’s lease type and applicable rules with the management office.

What should I confirm before applying or signing a lease?

Confirm lease term and renewal process, any recent policy changes, and unit-specific details (pricing, utilities, parking, laundry, and maintenance). Also ask about how requests are handled during the first 30–60 days.

What if the building data and what I hear on tours don’t match?

That can happen. Tenant Q&A and reviews are a strong signal, but building operations can change. Ask targeted questions during tours and request written answers for anything material to your decision.

Are there any additional costs I should expect beyond the monthly rent?

Yes. Even with a good match, you should budget for the full monthly/initial cost picture, including deposits, fees, and utilities, based on what the building requires for your specific unit.
