What does “5-train” mean on this buildings page?

It’s a location filter that focuses the results on buildings near the 5 train, so you can compare options along the same general commute corridor.

What does “low open violations” measure?

It’s based on building-level open-violation signals from NYC open records. Open conditions can change after the data refresh, so you should ask the building directly about the current status of any cited issues.

Is the “low open violations” signal a guarantee a building is safe or violation-free?

No. It’s a helpful data point for comparing buildings, but it doesn’t capture everything in real time. Use it to shortlist, then do direct outreach and confirm the current situation.

How does Openigloo use reviews and building pages for this filter?

Openigloo compiles renter feedback and building details on each page. Use those insights to look for patterns (maintenance, responsiveness, move-in process) and cross-check with what you’re seeing in the open-record signals.

What should I ask the landlord or superintendent before applying?

Ask about current maintenance backlogs, any recent or pending violations not reflected yet in open records, remediation timelines, and the exact move-in costs (deposit, fees) and scheduling.

How should I compare these buildings if the 5-train proximity is similar?

Prioritize the details that affect your daily life: maintenance communication in reviews, the building’s current issue status (ask directly), lease terms, and the full move-in cost—not just the initial rent figure.
