What does “good cause” mean on this page?

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection category on Openigloo that can limit certain rent increases and non-renewal reasons. You should still confirm the exact lease language and how protections are applied by the building.

What does “near the X38 bus” cover?

It’s a location filter based on proximity to the X38 route within the Lower East Side scope. For day-to-day commuting, verify walking time from the specific entrance/unit you’re considering.

How many buildings match these filters in Lower East Side?

Openigloo shows 137+ eligible buildings for this good-cause + X38 bus combination in the Lower East Side.

Is this filter the same as affordable or income-restricted housing?

No. “Good cause” protections are not the same thing as income-restricted or subsidized housing, and this page is not tied to housing-lottery programs like Section 8 or NYCHA.

What should I ask the super or management before applying?

Ask for written lease details tied to renewals and any rent-increase scenarios, plus current policies on fees, deposits, and how maintenance requests are handled.

Do reviews and ratings guarantee how the building will operate for my specific unit?

No. Reviews and signals help you screen, but conditions can vary by unit and over time. Use them to generate questions, then verify details during your appointment.
