Pet-friendly buildings near the BX13 bus in Washington Heights

It means the building is in the pet-friendly filter scope on Openigloo, based on building-level signals. Individual rules still vary, so you should confirm permitted pet types, weight/breed limits, allowed counts, and required documentation (and any pet fees) with the building.

There are 98+ eligible buildings in Washington Heights on this Openigloo page as of 2026-07-07.

Start by asking the building for the written pet policy: monthly pet rent (if any), deposit amount, insurance requirements (if any), and the exact limits for your pet. Then compare the unit’s move-in process, because even pet-friendly buildings can restrict timing or moving logistics.

Openigloo’s neighborhood snapshot here is shown as an average across rated buildings. Tenant questions and open-data signals can help, but you should still confirm details for the specific unit you’re considering.

Ask how the lease handles renewals and any added charges for pets, plus what happens if you need to change pets later. Also confirm how long approvals take and whether there’s a separate pet application.

No. This pet-friendly filter is not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it is not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.
