What does “low-open-violations” mean on Openigloo?

It’s based on NYC open records showing a lower rate of open violations for the building. Use it as a filter signal, not a guarantee about current conditions.

How should I interpret the “S train” part of the filter?

“S train” filters buildings by proximity to subway access. It does not ensure a specific walking time, entrance location, or noise level, so confirm on the map and during a real walk-through.

Does low-open-violations mean there will be no issues after I move in?

No. Open-records data can lag day-to-day conditions, and new issues can occur after a record snapshot. Ask the building directly about current maintenance priorities and any recent inspections.

Where does the violation data come from, and can it be out of date?

The signals come from NYC open records. They may reflect reporting and update timing rather than real-world conditions on the day you tour.

What should I check in addition to the filter before signing?

Verify the full move-in cost details (deposit and any broker fee if applicable), confirm what’s included (utilities, maintenance coverage if stated), and ask about repair response expectations for your unit type.

Are these buildings part of an affordable-housing program or subsidized housing?

No. This filter is about open-violation signals and S-train proximity. It is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.
