What does “low open violations” mean on this page?

It’s a filter based on open violation rates from NYC open records. Because public records can lag real-world conditions, use it to narrow options, then ask the building directly about the current status and remediation.

How does this page connect to the M15-SBS bus?

The “m15-sbs-bus” part of the filter limits results to buildings near the M15-SBS bus route, so your shortlist is built around the commute corridor rather than the entire neighborhood.

Do “low open violations” filters guarantee there won’t be issues when I move in?

No. It only indicates a lower open-violation rate in the dataset used for the filter. Conditions can change after the record snapshot, so still verify what’s been fixed and what’s ongoing.

Are the building ratings on Openigloo based on the same data as the violation filter?

No. Ratings come from rated buildings’ feedback on Openigloo, while the violation filter uses NYC open records. Use both to balance resident experience with public maintenance/violation context.

What should I ask during a tour to validate the violation history?

Ask what the open items relate to, what corrective work was completed, what is still in progress, and how the building prevents repeat issues. If pests or safety-related items were involved, ask for the current prevention and inspection process.
