What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a data-driven signal based on tenant staying patterns in the building. Use it as a shortlist starter, then verify with building Q&A and notes from rated buildings to understand what’s driving residents to stay.

How do I make sure a building is really near the C train?

Treat “near the C train” as an area-level starting point. Cross-check the nearest station entrance for your typical schedule and walk route, since Midtown blocks can change the practical commute.

Does high tenant retention guarantee better conditions or fewer issues?

No. High retention is a trend signal, not a guarantee. Look for recurring themes in the building Q&A and confirm how maintenance requests are handled.

What should I ask before signing a lease in a high-retention building?

Ask about recent repairs and turnaround times, noise/neighboring unit patterns, move-in timelines, and any building rules that affect your day-to-day. If you’re considering a specific unit type, ask whether it’s consistently available.

Are these buildings rent-regulated or covered by tenant-protection programs?
