What does “B39 bus” mean on this page?

It narrows buildings to those located near the B39 bus corridor, so your search is aligned with a specific transit option rather than just a broad neighborhood area.

What does “pre-war” mean?

Pre-war means the building was constructed before 1947. This page is limited to that building-age category.

Does “pre-war” tell me how the building will feel day to day?

Not by itself. Older buildings can be well maintained or need updates, so you still need to verify current conditions during a tour and by asking the building about recent repairs and upgrades.

What should I confirm before applying or signing a lease?

Confirm the full monthly cost (rent plus any required fees and tenant-paid utilities), heating and hot-water setup, laundry access, and any building rules that affect move-in (entry procedures, package handling, and any required documentation).

How does Openigloo help me compare buildings in this filter set?

Openigloo surfaces building-level context from renter reviews and tenant Q&A, plus open-data signals where available, so you can shortlist faster and ask more precise questions on tours.

Are there any caveats when searching pre-war buildings?

Yes. Expect more variability in building systems and layouts. Even within the same “pre-war” category, upgrades and upkeep can differ, so rely on tour walkthroughs and direct confirmations rather than the building age alone.
