Buildings with low historical violations near the M50 bus in Manhattan

It’s a screening filter based on NYC open records of historic violations. It helps narrow your options, but it’s not proof of current building conditions. Ask the building directly about the most recent repairs and compliance status.

It limits the set to Manhattan buildings that are near the M50 bus route, so your shortlist matches the commuting corridor you care about. Use the unit’s location (street and window exposure) to confirm real-life commute and noise.

Shortlist by the filters on this page, then cross-check with building reviews and any tenant Q&A. Follow up with the landlord or managing agent on any details that affect daily life (maintenance timelines, noise, and inspection/repair history).

No. The filter reduces the likelihood of high-violation histories, but issues can still exist or reappear. Request clarity on current outstanding items, recent repairs, and timelines before committing.

Yes: confirm the unit’s lease terms, move-in date flexibility, deposit/fee requirements, and who pays utilities. Also ask about the building’s current maintenance process for requests submitted after move-in.

Openigloo uses NYC open-data sources for historical violation information. Because records can lag real-world conditions and updates, the best practice is to verify current status with the building.
