What to check before for affordable good cause buildings in Upper West Side

  • Expected to be market-relative affordable, meaning the building's median asking rent is below the neighborhood median.
  • Confirm good cause protections and their implications regarding rent increases and lease renewals before signing a lease.
  • Fees may apply; always inquire about upfront costs like broker fees, deposits, and utilities in addition to rent.
  • Review tenant experiences through Openigloo’s building ratings and user reviews for additional context.
  • Understand that while the buildings qualify as affordable, they are not income-restricted or subsidized housing.
