How does Openigloo use reviews or ratings for these buildings?

The Upper East Side scope includes an average building rating of 3.8/5 across 17 rated buildings. Use the ratings as a starting point, then read notes and tenant Q&A to understand patterns relevant to your unit and lease.

Is the rating count the same as the number of apartments available?

No. “Rated buildings” reflects the buildings with enough rating data to compute the average, not the number of available units. Always check the unit’s current availability and the building’s posted policies for your specific apartment.

What should I verify before applying or signing a lease?

Confirm the unit’s exact lease start and renewal terms, building policies (laundry, packages, common-area rules), and the move-in cost details. If something affects daily life, ask before you commit—tenant Q&A can help you target the right questions.

What to check before choosing a building near the 5 train in Upper East Side

Confirm the exact cross streets and walking time to the nearest 5 train stop for each building, since “near the 5 train” can vary block to block.
Check current availability on Openigloo and verify lease terms (move-in date, renewal language, and any documented rent increase history).
Review building rules that affect move-in planning: package/entry procedures, laundry access, and any stated limits on pets, smoking, or common-area use.
For questions you cannot confirm from the listing, use tenant Q&A to ask about responsiveness, maintenance turnaround, and how problems are handled in day-to-day operations.
Ask about the full move-in cost beyond rent (security deposit and any one-time fees), and confirm what utilities are included before signing.
