What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

On Openigloo, pre-war refers to buildings built before 1947. Use it alongside the 4-train filter to narrow your search.

How does the “4-train” filter work for building search?

This page is scoped to buildings near the 4 train corridor, so you’ll see buildings in the areas most relevant to that line.

Are these 13,981+ buildings all currently available for rent?

No. This page reflects the eligible building scope for the filters. Availability depends on current listings per building, so check the building’s specific details for what’s advertised now.

Does “pre-war” tell me anything about current building conditions?

Not by itself. Pre-war describes construction age, not how a building is maintained today. Use Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A, then confirm condition details with management.

What should I ask about lease terms and costs before applying?

Confirm the move-in total (rent plus any deposit and broker fee, and which utilities are included), plus lease start date, renewal language, and any one-time move-in charges.

Will open-data signals on Openigloo replace contacting the landlord?

No. Open-data helps you screen, but policies and conditions change. Treat it as a starting point and ask the building directly about anything that affects your specific unit.

Is this page limited to certain apartment sizes or rent levels?

No. It’s a filter by building attributes (near the 4 train and pre-war). You can still narrow further by budget, bedrooms, and other criteria from the building details.
