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

It’s a tenant-retention signal derived from Openigloo data, used to surface buildings where tenants tend to stay. It’s a screening aid, not a promise about any specific apartment’s conditions.

How does the “Q-train” part of the filter work?

It matches buildings to a Q-train commute fit in the same scope (Chinatown). You should still verify the specific route, walking time, and how transfers affect your routine from the exact address.

How many Chinatown buildings match these filters right now?

Openigloo shows 31+ buildings in Chinatown that fit the high-retention + Q-train filter pair as of 2026-07-07.

What should I confirm with the building before signing, even if the tenant-retention signal looks good?

Confirm the lease term, renewal/termination terms, the full monthly cost breakdown, and what’s included (heat/hot water, utilities, laundry/storage). Ask about any upcoming building work that could affect your unit.

Does high tenant retention mean there won’t be problems like pests, repairs, or disputes?

No. Retention can indicate steadier tenancy, but building conditions can still vary by unit and timing. Check the latest building info on Openigloo and ask management for current status on repairs and any relevant issues.

Is this page showing affordable, income-restricted, or subsidized housing?

No. This page is a filter based on tenant retention and transit fit. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it isn’t a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

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.
