What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about building systems (electrical/plumbing), the condition of common areas, recent renovations, and how repairs are handled. Also verify what’s included in the rent and any restrictions tied to the specific unit.

Does Openigloo show whether a specific unit has renovations or a certain layout?

Openigloo can help you shortlist based on building-level signals and renter Q&A, but unit condition and floorplan details still need confirmation with the building or managing agent.

Are there additional costs beyond the monthly asking rent?

Often yes. Before you apply, request the full breakdown of move-in costs, including broker fee, required deposits, utilities responsibilities, and any building-specific one-time charges.

How should I use ratings and tenant Q&A on this page?

Use them to spot patterns (for example, maintenance consistency or responsiveness). Then follow up directly with the building for the details that matter to your exact unit and move-in timeline.
