Buildings with low open violation rates near the S81 bus in NYC

It’s a filter built from NYC open records, intended to help you compare buildings based on maintenance-related open violations. The record-based signal may lag real-world conditions, so you should still ask the building directly about current status.

It’s a location filter to surface buildings close to the S81 bus route. You should confirm your actual commute (walk time, crossing points, and wait times) for your specific start and end times.

The “low open violations” portion is based on NYC open data. Because open-records updates can take time, the most recent conditions may not be fully reflected. Use it to shortlist, not to replace an in-person check.

No. Low open violations helps with an evidence-backed starting point, but it does not guarantee a specific unit’s condition, responsiveness, or future outcomes. Ask about the unit’s repair history and current work orders.

Ask what’s currently being worked on, how repairs are prioritized, expected timelines, and whether recent issues have been fully resolved. If the building has a record history discussed in Openigloo threads, ask for what was fixed and when.

Violation history might influence how a building handles maintenance and responsiveness, but lease terms depend on the building and the unit. Always review the lease carefully and confirm any promised repairs in writing.

Openigloo can surface rated-building context and renter Q&A so you can spot patterns worth asking about. Then, use that list of questions to confirm current conditions and repair processes with the building before you sign.
