Pre-war buildings near the B1 bus in NYC

It means the building was constructed before 1947. Since systems and rules can vary by building, you still need to confirm current conditions and any updates unit-by-unit.

Openigloo uses proximity to the B1 bus route to group nearby buildings. The exact walk and block-to-block experience can differ, so verify the route and time from the building entrance to your usual stop.

5,269+ buildings match the pre-war + B1 bus filters on Openigloo as of 2026-07-07.

Not necessarily. The filters scope buildings by building traits and location, but availability can change. Use Openigloo to check for apartments that are currently advertised in each building.

Ask about recent major repairs (heat/hot water, plumbing, roofing), how maintenance requests are handled, and whether the building has recurring issues mentioned in tenant Q&A or reviews.

No. Reviews and Q&A reflect experiences at the building level, and conditions can vary by unit, floor, and timing. Use them to form questions, then confirm details with the landlord or super.

Cross-check the building’s exact location with your commute needs, then confirm practical factors like noise and walking time. Use the building details on Openigloo to shortlist, and treat “near the B1” as a starting point rather than a guarantee.
