What does “good cause” mean on this East Village buildings page?

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection category used to group buildings where rules limit certain rent increases and non-renewals. It’s meant to help you screen for stronger protections, but you should still ask the building for the specific renewal and rent-adjustment approach in your lease.

Does the “5-train” filter mean the building is on the subway line?

Not necessarily. It indicates the building’s location aligns with the 5 train corridor for routing convenience. Confirm your commute by checking the nearest stations and the walking route from the building.

How many East Village buildings match these filters on Openigloo?

There are 312+ eligible buildings shown for this scope and filter combination right now.

Are the protection rules guaranteed because a building appears in the good-cause filter?

No. The filter helps you find buildings associated with good-cause signals, but outcomes depend on the individual lease and the building’s documented policies. Ask the building directly about renewals, rent adjustments, and any planned changes.

What do the Openigloo ratings on this page represent?

The page includes an average building rating based on rated buildings in East Village (not every building has a rating). Use it alongside recent Q&A and reviews to understand what current renters are reporting.

What should I ask the leasing office before applying?

Ask about renewal timing, how rent adjustments are handled under the lease, the application process, move-in schedule, deposits/fees, and any written policies on pets, roommates, and parking. Get answers in writing when possible.
