What does “low open violations” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a screening filter based on open violation indicators in NYC open records. The goal is to prioritize buildings with fewer currently open issues, but it doesn’t replace asking management for the latest status.

How does the “near the R train” part work?

This filter limits the buildings shown to those located near the R train within the page’s Flatiron scope. Use the building page to confirm exact walking time and the practical route you’d take.

Does low open violation rate mean the building has no problems?

No. “Low” is relative to the rest of the set, and records can lag what’s happening today. If there’s anything you’re concerned about, ask management directly and request current documentation or timelines.

Is the building count (46+) the number of apartments available?

No. 46+ is the number of buildings matching the page’s filters. Availability depends on unit turnover, so check the specific building page for current apartments for rent.

What should I verify before signing a lease even if the data looks good?

Confirm the full move-in picture (rent, deposit, broker fee if any, and any building charges), plus maintenance turnaround, utilities included/excluded, and the inspection process. Also verify any unit-specific issues during a walkthrough.

Are the low-violation signals guaranteed to be current?

They’re based on open records and can lag real-world conditions. Treat it as a starting point for questions, then verify the latest status with the building.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope, and how many buildings each has?

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.

What to check before choosing a building with low open violation rates near the R train in Flatiron

Start with eligibility: each building should show both low open violation rates and R-train proximity in the Openigloo filter results.
Don’t skip the basics: verify lease terms, rent amount, move-in fees, and how repairs are handled for the specific unit you’re considering.
Ask about violations you can still see: request the building’s current status and timelines for any open items, even if the open-violation rate is low.
Use reviews to spot patterns: look for recurring notes about maintenance responsiveness, heat/hot water consistency, and building communication.
Confirm compliance logistics: ask how the building handles inspections, entry procedures, and documentation requirements for move-in. Fees and schedules can vary.
If a building looks good on data and reviews, schedule a walkthrough and ask for written answers to your top repair and policy questions. Data can lag real-world conditions.
