What should I check because these are older buildings?

Ask about current building condition and ongoing maintenance, especially heating/hot water reliability, elevator performance, pest-control practices, and whether any major work is planned.

Do Openigloo reviews replace what I should ask the landlord?

No. Reviews and Q&A are useful context, but you should still ask the building directly about your specific unit, utilities, lease terms, and any current issues or timelines.

Are there extra fees or costs I should expect beyond the monthly rent?

Usually yes—confirm security deposit, broker fee (if applicable), and which utilities are included. The full monthly cost can differ from the asking rent.

Can a pre-war building have both pros and tradeoffs?

Yes. Older buildings can offer architectural character, but conditions and upkeep vary. Use Openigloo’s building signals and tenant Q&A as a starting point, then verify details for the exact unit you’d rent.
