Pre-war buildings near 116 St station in NYC

Pre-war here means the building was built before 1947. Use it as a filter for construction-era context when comparing building condition and maintenance practices.

Openigloo shows 1,387+ buildings for the 116 St station area with the pre-war filter applied (as of 2026-07-07).

No. The filter helps you find the right building type, but real-world conditions can change. Use the tenant Q&A and reviews, then confirm key issues directly with the building or management.

Focus on practical items: heat and hot-water reliability, pest control process, response time for repairs, and how common systems (elevators, plumbing, intercoms) are serviced.

Openigloo surfaces review history and open-data signals, but those are only part of the picture. Treat them as starting points, not final proof, and document answers you get from management.

Even when buildings match your filters, the full monthly cost can include broker fees (if applicable), deposit requirements, and building-specific fees. Confirm what’s required and what’s included before moving forward.

Look for repeat themes (repairs, cleanliness, pests, noise, elevator wait times) and ask follow-ups that connect the comments to your unit specifics, like your floor and proximity to shared systems.
