How does Openigloo use reviews or signals on these buildings?

You’ll see building-level rating context from rated buildings and can read review and Q&A content to understand day-to-day experiences. Signals help you shortlist, but they don’t replace questions to the building.

Does high tenant retention mean a building is always a good deal or always has vacancies?

No. High retention can indicate stability, but it doesn’t guarantee availability, pricing, or that your specific unit will be offered on your timeline.

What should I confirm before signing a lease near the 1 train?

Confirm the unit’s exact rent and fees, lease start/end dates, renewal terms, and any move-in requirements. Also ask about maintenance response and building policies that affect your day-to-day use.

Do Midtown building ratings reflect the whole building, or just parts of it?

Ratings are based on rated buildings in the available dataset, which may not cover every unit or every period equally. Treat the score as one input and validate with current questions and the building directly.
