Pre-war buildings near the B31 bus in NYC

It groups NYC buildings that are pre-1947 construction (pre-war) and are near the B31 bus route, so you can focus on commute access plus building age.

1,259+ buildings currently match the B31 proximity plus pre-war criteria on Openigloo (snapshot as of 2026-07-07).

It’s a building-age filter, not a guarantee of layout, renovations, or amenity level. Use the specific building page to check heating, laundry, ceiling height, and any recent upgrades for the unit you want.

Confirm the exact lease term, total monthly cost (including utilities and any required fees), and practical items like soundproofing, pest-control practices, and how maintenance requests are handled day to day.

Openigloo aggregates renter feedback (rated buildings signals), ties it to building pages, and surfaces tenant Q&A. You should still ask the building directly for anything that could have changed recently.

They can reflect historical or periodically updated sources, so treat them as a starting point. For anything lease-critical, confirm the current policy and conditions with the building management.

Beyond the asking rent, budget for broker fees (if applicable), deposits, and any move-in or building fees. Ask for a written breakdown so you can compare the full monthly and one-time costs across buildings.
