What does “low open violations” mean on Openigloo?

It refers to open (not fully resolved) violation signals available through NYC open records that Openigloo uses to rank and filter buildings. Conditions can change, so confirm the latest status with the building directly.

How should I interpret results when I filter by low open violations?

Use it as a risk-reduction signal, not a guarantee. Some problems may be undocumented, newly opened, or corrected after the snapshot. Always ask the super/management what’s currently in progress.

Does “near the 5 train” include every building within subway walking distance?

The filter is based on location relative to the 5 train corridor in this scope. Still, check the exact route, transfer options, and how long the walk feels at the times you usually travel.

Where do ratings come from, and are they tied to violations?

Ratings on Openigloo are based on renter feedback for rated buildings. They’re separate from violation signals, so read both to understand maintenance culture and reported issues.

What should I ask during a tour for a building in this category?

Ask what maintenance requests are taking the longest, whether there are any active repairs, and how management handles service response. If you see any violation-related notes, request the closure documentation and current timeline.

Is this information enough to decide on a lease?

It’s a strong shortlist tool, but not a substitute for due diligence. Verify current conditions, ask about upcoming capital work, and review the lease terms (fees, lease renewal language, and any rules that affect you).
