Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

It refers to buildings built before 1947. Use the building’s page to confirm details and compare what to expect before scheduling a showing.

Question 2

Is the 1,264+ building count specific to the 59 St station area?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The scope is pre-war buildings near 59 St station in NYC, and Openigloo shows 1,264+ eligible buildings as of 2026-07-07.

Question 3

How do I make sure a building is actually close enough to 59 St?

Accepted Answer

Check the building address and the walk/subway access on the building page, then compare it to your route and transfer needs. “Near” can vary block to block.

Question 4

What should I watch for in pre-war buildings before committing?

Accepted Answer

In-building maintenance and unit condition can differ by building and management. Use tenant Q&A and recent notes to validate elevator reliability, heat/hot-water performance, and common in-unit issues.

Question 5

Do building reviews and Q&A replace a lease walkthrough?

Accepted Answer

No. Reviews and Q&A are helpful for patterns, but you should still do a unit walk-through, confirm apartment specifics, and ask the building directly about anything that could affect your daily life.

Question 6

Are fees like broker fees and deposits included in Openigloo’s rent info?

Accepted Answer

Openigloo helps organize building and listing details, but you should confirm the full move-in cost (broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any other charges) with the building or agent before signing.
