How many NYC buildings match this filter right now?

3,493+ buildings are currently matching the recommended-by-renters filter in NYC.

Are the recommendations based only on review text?

Openigloo uses renter signals along with review context to help you compare buildings. Still, different units can have different experiences, so confirm specifics for the exact apartment you’re considering.

How should I use renter recommendations to decide on a lease?

Look for recurring themes (maintenance timelines, common-room rules, noise patterns), check whether the feedback is recent, and compare those notes with the building’s answers in tenant Q&A.

What should I confirm with the leasing office even if renters recommend the building?

Confirm availability, exact rent and fees, lease start/end dates, deposit and any move-in charges, utility responsibility, and building policies that apply to your unit (laundry, packages, visitors).

Can renter recommendations help with questions about reliability or maintenance?

Yes—tenant Q&A and reviews often reveal how quickly issues get handled. Still, ask the building to describe current procedures and timelines for repairs.

Do recommendations guarantee the same experience for every apartment in the building?

No. Buildings can vary by unit type, floor, exposure, and lease terms. Treat recommendations as guidance and confirm details for the specific unit before you sign.
