What does “good cause” mean on this buildings page?

It’s a tenant protection category filter in Openigloo meant to reflect enhanced protections around certain rent increases and non-renewals, based on available data. You should still confirm how it applies to your specific lease situation with the building or leasing office.

How does the “1-train” filter work for Midtown?

It narrows the results to buildings near the 1 subway line within Midtown. Before committing, check the closest station to the exact address and whether the walk and transfer options fit your daily route.

Are these good cause buildings counted as 79+ across all Midtown?

Yes. The page is scoped to Midtown in Manhattan and shows 79+ eligible buildings right now within the 1-train + good-cause multi-filter combination.

Does Openigloo guarantee that protections or lease terms will be the same for every apartment?

No. Building-level categories help narrow options, but units and lease terms can differ. Use the tenant Q&A and ask the leasing office for unit-specific confirmation in writing where possible.

What should I ask before signing a lease in a good cause building?

Ask what protections apply to your lease situation, the process for renewals, notice timelines, and how rent changes are handled. Also confirm maintenance response expectations and any move-in requirements.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing?

No. This page is about the good cause filter and the 1-train location, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.
