What does “good-cause” mean on this page?

It’s a tenant-protection category focused on limiting certain rent increases and non-renewals. Still confirm the exact renewal and rent terms for your specific lease with the building.

How does “near the M55 bus” affect what I’ll see?

It’s a location convenience filter within the Lower East Side scope. Use it to shortlist buildings, then check your real walking route and commute schedule for how the M55 fits your day.

Are these buildings regulated or income-restricted through a housing program?

No. This page is based on the good-cause tenant-protection category, not on income-restricted or subsidized housing. It is not NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8, and it is not a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

How can I use Openigloo reviews and Q&A when comparing buildings?

Use them to understand what renters experience in daily operations (responsiveness, clarity of policies, and building practices). Then verify any key points with management because policies can change by unit and over time.

What should I ask before applying if I’m prioritizing good-cause protections?

Ask how renewals are handled in practice, what notice timelines apply, and what rent adjustments (if any) could occur during your lease term and at renewal.

Does the total monthly cost depend on more than the asking rent?

Yes. Even with the right protections and location, confirm the full expected move-in and monthly costs (deposit, potential broker fees, and utilities) so your budget matches the actual payment amount.
