What does “good cause” mean for renters on Openigloo?

It’s a tenant-protection category. On this page, “good cause” indicates the building is included under that regulatory/tenant-protection filter, so you can focus your search while you still verify the exact renewal and rent-increase mechanics for your lease.

How should I use “near-waterfront” when choosing a building?

Use it to narrow options, then confirm how proximity affects daily life. Check unit orientation, window exposure, and any building notes about noise, wind, or seasonal conditions.

Does the 665+ building count mean every building has an available unit right now?

No. The building_count reflects eligible buildings in scope; availability can change by unit and date. Use Openigloo to check which buildings currently have apartments advertised.

How reliable are building ratings for deciding?

Ratings reflect rated buildings (3.5/5 across 193 rated buildings). Use them as a comparison tool, then verify with building staff and the specific unit you’re considering.

What should I ask before applying under a good cause filter?

Ask how renewal and non-renewal decisions are handled for the lease you’d sign, how rent increases are applied in practice, and whether those terms differ by unit type or floor.

Are there any common fee or lease-term details I might miss?

Yes. Ask for the move-in fee schedule and what’s included monthly (utilities, parking, amenity access). Also confirm any unit-specific requirements tied to your lease term.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings; Fulton/Seaport with 1,758+ buildings.
