What does the “good cause” filter mean on this page?

It’s a tenant-protection category. The goal is to show buildings where certain rent-increase and non-renewal outcomes are more constrained than in standard market situations. You should still ask the building how it applies to your lease and renewal timeline.

Does this page show only Flatiron buildings near the 5 train?

Yes. The scope is Flatiron, Manhattan, and the building filter is tied to proximity to the 5 train plus the good-cause category.

How should I use the building ratings on Openigloo?

The page includes a set of rated buildings with an average score. Use that as a starting point, but always confirm current conditions and policies directly with management.

What should I ask the building about before signing a lease?

Ask how renewals work under the good-cause rules for your specific lease, how rent adjustments are communicated, what documentation is required, and what the move-in process looks like (including any fees or deposits).

Is the good-cause filter the same as affordable housing programs?

No. “Good cause” protections are tenant-rights rules; they are not the same as income-restricted or subsidized housing. This filter is also not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

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