What does “low open violations” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a data-based filter built from NYC open records showing open violation activity. The goal is to help you compare buildings with fewer currently open items, but you should still ask the building directly about any ongoing problems you’re worried about.

How does the Z-train filter work for this search?

It narrows the eligible buildings to those near the Z train corridor in the Lower East Side, so your commute and neighborhood fit align with what you can realistically access day to day.

Is the low-violation signal a guarantee that nothing is wrong in the building?

No. Open-record snapshots can lag real-world conditions, and different units can still experience different maintenance issues. Use it as a starting point, then confirm directly with the building.

Where do the ratings come from for Lower East Side buildings?

For this neighborhood scope, Openigloo shows an average building rating of 3.4/5 across 179 rated buildings. Treat that as a broad signal and read the details behind any score before deciding.

Do I need to worry about unit-level issues even if the building has low open violations?

Yes. Building-level data doesn’t replace unit-level checks. Ask about the specific apartment’s condition, planned repairs, and how maintenance requests are handled for tenants currently living there.

Are there extra fees or restrictions I should expect when applying after using these filters?

Common move-in costs like deposits and any required fees still apply, and lease rules vary by building. Use the building profile to confirm full monthly costs and any requirements tied to your lease.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?
