What does “best-cleanliness” mean on this page?

It’s a secondary filter that prioritizes buildings in the Upper East Side with higher cleanliness ratings on Openigloo, based on tenant-submitted signals. Cleanliness standards can still vary unit to unit, so verify details directly with the building.

How many buildings match this filter right now on the Upper East Side?

There are 9+ buildings showing up under this “best-cleanliness” filter on Openigloo as of the latest snapshot.

Is this filter only about cleanliness inside the apartment?

No. Cleanliness signals can include common areas and building-level upkeep mentioned by tenants. When you tour, ask how cleaning is handled for hallways, lobbies, elevators, and laundry rooms.

Can I trust cleanliness ratings without touring?

They’re a strong starting point, but not a guarantee. Use the ratings to shortlist, then confirm cleaning schedules, maintenance workflow, and any building issues the recent comments reference.

Where does the cleanliness data come from?

Openigloo uses tenant feedback and review signals gathered on the platform. Availability and recency can vary by building, so also check what’s happening during your tour and ask management for updates.

What should I ask the super or leasing office to verify cleanliness?

Ask about current maintenance and cleaning practices, how they address complaints, how they handle common-area issues, and what to expect around move-in (entry cleaning, trash/recycling setup, and any temporary construction or service impacts).

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

What to check before for buildings highly rated for cleanliness in Upper East Side

Use this page to start with cleanliness-focused signals, then open each building to review what residents mention (e.g., common areas, maintenance response, odors).
Confirm the basics in writing: lease start/end dates, move-in procedures, and whether any recent cleaning or pest-prevention steps are planned for move-in.
If you’re sensitive to noise or building upkeep, look for patterns in recent tenant Q&A rather than one-off mentions.
Before applying, ask who manages housekeeping for common spaces and how often cleaning is scheduled and monitored.
Expect to pay standard move-in costs (like deposits and any required fees), even when a building is highly rated for cleanliness.
