Good cause buildings near the S86 bus in NYC

On Openigloo, “good cause” is a regulatory category that groups buildings where tenant protections apply around certain renewals and limits on particular rent-increase and non-renewal scenarios. Because the exact impact depends on your lease, confirm the renewal and increase language directly with the building.

The scope is transit-based. It surfaces buildings along the S86 corridor so you can filter based on commute practicality, not just a named neighborhood boundary.
