What does “good cause” mean on this Openigloo page?

It’s the regulatory filter used to focus on buildings tied to tenant-protection rules around certain rent increases and non-renewals. Still, you should confirm the specifics that apply to your lease and situation directly with the building.

What does “near transit” filter for?

It groups buildings that are close enough to major transit to make commuting easier. It’s not a guarantee of a specific commute time, so verify routes and walking distance from the exact address or nearest entrance.

How many Upper East Side buildings match these filters right now?

Openigloo currently shows 95+ buildings on this page in the Upper East Side scope that match the good-cause + near-transit filters.

How should I use the reviews and “rated buildings” info when comparing options?

Start with the overall rating to narrow choices, then open the building details to read the tenant Q&A. Use the Q&A to sanity-check what the rating doesn’t tell you, like maintenance speed, communication, and how policies work in practice.

Are there any lease-term or move-in questions I should ask before applying?

Yes. Ask the building about renewal mechanics tied to good cause, any documentation required, and every component of the move-in cost (deposits and fees), not just the monthly rent.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

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.

Does the good-cause filter mean every apartment in the building is treated the same way?

No. Buildings can vary by unit or lease structure. Treat the filter as a shortlist signal, then confirm the protections and process for your exact unit/lease directly with the building.
