What does “pre-war + B31 bus” mean on this page?

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.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

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

Does “pre-war” tell me what the apartments will be like inside?

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.

What should I confirm before applying for a pre-war building?

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.

How does Openigloo help beyond the filters?

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.

Are the open-data or signals on Openigloo always current?

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.

What costs should I budget for when considering these apartments for rent?

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.
