What does “low open violations” mean on Openigloo?

It means the building’s open-violation signal is lower than other options in scope. Use it to prioritize viewings, but still confirm current conditions and repair timelines directly with the building.

How does being “near the M12 bus” affect what I’ll find here?

The filter is designed to help you target buildings along the M12 route in Hell’s Kitchen. It does not guarantee walk times, noise levels, or transit disruption patterns, so verify commute times for your schedule.

Does a low open-violation rate mean there are no issues in the building?

Not necessarily. Open-record signals can lag real-world conditions, and closed/resolved items may not reflect what you’ll experience during your lease term. Ask management what’s currently in progress and what improvements were recently completed.

Where do the violation signals come from?

Openigloo uses open-data signals based on NYC public records. Those records may not reflect today’s condition, so treat them as one input alongside renter Q&A and your own inspection.
