Buildings with low open violation rates near the R train in NYC

It’s a filter based on open violation records tied to a building. The goal is to reduce your shortlist to buildings with fewer open items in the source data, but it does not guarantee that conditions are currently issue-free.

No. Open records are one signal, but they may lag what’s happening day to day. Use the building page to read tenant Q&A and then ask management directly about the current status for pests, repairs, and complaint response.

The page is scoped to building locations in the R-train corridor area as defined by the filter. If your commute depends on a specific station, check the building’s exact location and transit route before you apply.

No. They come from NYC open records and can take time to appear. Treat the filter as a starting point and confirm directly with the building for the latest conditions and any newly opened items.

Ask about the latest complaint and maintenance process, the current status of repairs, and whether any issues have been opened since the most recent records. Also ask who to contact for urgent problems and what the response timeline is.

Use them to check whether residents report recurring maintenance or management follow-through issues. If feedback aligns with the violation filter, that can help your shortlist; if it conflicts, investigate further with management.

That can happen. The filter focuses on low counts, not zero. Review the building details on Openigloo, then ask the super/management what the specific items were, how they’re being handled, and when they’re expected to close.
