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

It’s a category filter for tenant protections related to certain rent-increase and non-renewal limits. It’s about the regulatory bucket, but you should still confirm the specific terms for the apartment you’re considering.

What does “near the SIM1C bus” cover?

It’s a location filter tied to access around the SIM1C route. Check the closest stop to the building entrance and your actual walk time during the hours you’d commute.

How many buildings match this Flatiron + SIM1C + good-cause scope right now?

56+ buildings on this page as of 2026-07-07.

How does Openigloo help me vet these buildings beyond the filter?

You can review tenant Q&A and Openigloo building signals, then ask management targeted questions about the apartment’s lease terms and any move-in costs before committing.

Are these buildings affordable or income-restricted because they’re “good cause”?

No. “Good cause” is not the same as income-restricted or subsidized housing. It’s a tenant-protection category, and the apartment’s monthly rent still matters.

Is there any reason I should treat filter matches as the starting point, not the final answer?

Yes. Even when a building matches the filter, individual units can have different lease histories or documentation. Confirm the renewal and rent-increase expectations for the exact apartment in writing.
