Buildings with low open violation rates near the Q64 bus in Kew Gardens Hills

It’s an open-data signal meant to flag buildings with fewer currently open violations. Use it to narrow your search, then ask the building for current status and maintenance documentation.

Use it for routing and commute practicality. Verify walking time, street crossings, and bus timing during your usual hours, since “near” can still mean different real-world distances for different blocks.

No. Records reflect open items at a point in time and may not capture every issue. You should still tour, request maintenance history where possible, and ask management about current concerns.

Openigloo relies on NYC open records, which can lag real-world conditions. Treat the data as a screening tool and confirm directly with the building before committing.

Ask what’s currently open (if anything), what repairs are planned, typical timelines for service requests, and whether there have been any recent compliance updates or recurring issues.

Shortlist by combining the filter signals with practical unit factors: monthly cost and total move-in expenses, building policies, and what you experience on a walk-through (heat, water pressure, noise, common areas).
