What does “good cause” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a regulatory category focused on tenant protections tied to rent increases and certain non-renewal scenarios. It doesn’t replace reviewing the specific lease terms offered for the unit you’re considering.

How do I verify the building is actually close to the F train?

Use the map and directions shown on Openigloo for each building, then double-check during an in-person visit. Walking time and entrance location can change your commute.

Are these buildings guaranteed to have certain conditions because of the filters?

No. Filters narrow your search, but building policies and unit-level details still vary. Confirm specifics during tours and in the lease (building rules, fees, and any restrictions that apply to your unit).

What should I ask before applying or signing?

Ask about lease renewal timing, any rent-change process described for that unit, total move-in costs, and how utilities are billed. Also confirm access rules (laundry, packages) and any documentation requirements tied to the building.

Does the rating score in Chinatown reflect all buildings on this page?

No. The Chinatown neighborhood stats shown here are based on 19 rated buildings, and not every eligible building will have the same rating sample available.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. “Good cause” is not income-restricted housing, and this page is not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.
