What does “good cause” mean on this building page?

It’s a tenant-protection filter applied to eligible buildings. Use it to focus your search, then confirm the specific renewal and rent-change rules the building follows by asking directly and reviewing any documentation they provide.

How does “near colleges” affect the buildings shown in Flatiron?

It narrows results to buildings located near college areas, based on the page’s filter. Still, check your commute and exact address, since “near” can feel different depending on how you travel and where your classes are.

Are these “good cause” buildings the same as affordable or subsidized housing?

No. This page is about the good cause tenant-protection category and location near colleges. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it is not a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

How should I use Openigloo ratings here?

Treat the 3.9/5 average as a signal from rated buildings, not a guarantee about any specific unit. Read tenant Q&A alongside the rating to understand how the building operates day to day.

What should I confirm before applying or signing for a building in this scope?

Ask about the renewal process and how the building handles notices (good cause rules), confirm the move-in date flexibility, and get a clear breakdown of required costs and timelines for deposits/fees/paperwork.

Does being near colleges mean the building is a short-term rental?

Not automatically. The “near colleges” filter only indicates location relative to campus areas. Always ask how the building handles lease terms, application timing, and any restrictions that affect your plan.
