What does “high tenant retention” mean on this Upper West Side page?

It’s a tenant-stay signal used to surface buildings where residents tend to remain longer than average. You should still confirm the current lease terms, renewals, and any recent building policy changes with management.

How is this page scoped for “near the C train”?

The listing scope applies the C-train filter to show buildings in the Upper West Side area that match that transit proximity signal. Always double-check your walking route and nearest stop based on the exact address on each building page.

Are these buildings income-restricted or subsidized?

No. This page is about market listings filtered by tenant-retention patterns and transit proximity. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

Can tenant retention data change over time?

Yes. Tenant-retention signals reflect past patterns, but management, policies, and building conditions can change. Use Openigloo’s tenant Q&A and rated-building info as context, then ask the building about any current upgrades or policy changes.

What should I verify before applying for an apartment in one of these buildings?

Verify lease start date and renewal/termination terms, any required deposits, move-in paperwork, and how maintenance requests are handled. Also ask whether there are any building-wide rules that affect daily life (noise, package procedures, laundry access, or common-area hours).

Does a high-retention score mean problems won’t happen?

Not necessarily. High retention suggests tenants often choose to stay, but it doesn’t eliminate issues. Read tenant Q&A for recurring themes and ask management how they handle the specific concerns raised by renters.
