What does the “best-pest-control” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s a data-driven filter based on pest-control related signals available in the Openigloo dataset, intended to help you start with buildings that have stronger history/indicators—not a guarantee for any single unit or situation.

How is this page using the W train + Midtown South scope?

This landing page focuses on buildings in Midtown South that match the W-train area criterion in the scope, then applies the best-pest-control filter on top of that.

Does a highly rated pest-control building mean my unit will never have pests?

No. Pest activity can be unit-specific and can change over time. Use the ratings and signals to narrow options, then confirm current procedures and follow-up timelines with the building for the exact unit you’re considering.

What should I ask about pest control during a showing?

Ask who provides services, how often treatments happen, what the protocol is after a report, how entry is scheduled, and what follow-up is included. Also ask whether any active mitigation is in progress for that specific unit or floor.

Are there fees or lease terms tied to pest issues?

The pest-control filter is about building signals, not lease economics. Still, review your lease for security deposit terms, any unit condition addenda, and how repairs or pest remediation are handled if issues recur.

Where do the pest-control signals come from, and can they be out of date?

Openigloo uses available building signals and renter feedback patterns to help with screening. Real-world conditions can change, so treat the filter as a starting point and request the building’s current documentation and service status.
