What does the “pre-war” filter include?

On Openigloo, “pre-war” means the building was built before 1947. It does not automatically indicate a building’s current condition or amenity level, so confirm details directly with management.

How many pre-war buildings are near the 116 St station right now?

There are 1,034+ eligible buildings in this scope as of 2026-07-07, based on the building filter set used for this page.

Is a pre-war building always older = worse, or always renovated?

Neither. Pre-war refers to construction era, not renovation status. Ask specifically about systems (heat/AC, hot water, electrical), elevator maintenance, and any recent building work.

What should I verify before signing an apartment lease in one of these buildings?

Verify the rent and lease terms, total move-in costs, building policies (pets, laundry, storage), and whether anything is included (utilities, internet, parking). Request the answers in writing where possible.

How does Openigloo use data to help renters compare buildings?

Openigloo aggregates building-level signals like reviews and tenant Q&A, and it uses open-data indicators where available to help you compare buildings more efficiently. Still, confirm key points with the building before committing.

Can I rely on reviews and Q&A to predict how my unit will feel?

They can help you spot recurring issues and how management responds, but experiences vary by unit and floor. Use them as a starting point, then ask targeted questions during your tour.
