How does the “M15-SBS bus” filter work for this Kips Bay page?

It limits the results to buildings located near the M15-SBS bus route in Kips Bay so you can focus your tours on a specific transit corridor.

Are these buildings guaranteed to be responsive once I move in?

No. Responsiveness can vary by staff coverage, maintenance backlog, and the specific issue. Treat the filter and tenant feedback as a starting point, then confirm process details with the building.

What should I ask the building before signing a lease?

Ask how quickly they respond to maintenance requests, how they communicate status updates, what qualifies for urgent repairs, and what documentation is required for requests or noise/amenity concerns.

Does a high Openigloo rating mean there will be fewer problems in my unit?
