What does “most-responsive-owners” mean on Openigloo?

It’s based on Openigloo signals from tenant-reported experiences on building pages. The goal is to surface buildings where owners/management tend to respond more consistently, but you should still ask the building how requests are handled for your specific situation.

How does the X28 bus filter work?

The filter focuses on buildings in Chelsea that are near the X28 bus corridor. It’s about location context, so confirm the exact walking time from the unit to the stop you’ll use most.

Is this page only for affordable or subsidized housing?

No. This page is about responsiveness and location filters in Chelsea, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing, and not a housing-lottery program.

Can I rely on responsiveness scores for my specific lease?

They can help you shortlist, but they’re not a promise. Ask the building directly about maintenance intake, escalation steps, and what to expect during the first 30–60 days after move-in.

What should I ask about repairs and communication before signing?

Ask who receives requests (building office vs. super), how you submit them, expected timelines for common issues, and whether there’s an after-hours process. If anything is urgent for your move, get it in writing.

Does being near transit affect noise or building rules?

It can. Even with the X28 proximity filter, confirm practical details like street-noise conditions, delivery access, and any rules that affect move-in timing or package handling.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope, and how many buildings are there?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell’s Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.
