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

Pre-war means the buildings match the built-before-1947 filter. Still, amenities and condition vary by building, so confirm details that affect your day-to-day (heat/hot water, elevator status, windows, and renovations).

How does the “near the B44-SBS bus” filter work in practice?

It groups buildings that are positioned along the B44-SBS route area. After you shortlist, confirm the exact walk time from your likely door to the stop(s) you’ll use most.

How many buildings are eligible right now?

Openigloo currently shows 15,784+ buildings that match this combined filter pair (pre-war + near the B44-SBS bus).

What building details should I verify before applying or touring?

Ask about rent start dates, required documents, guarantor rules, and how maintenance requests are handled. For pre-war buildings, also confirm practical items like heat/hot water reliability, elevator operation, and any known recurring issues.

Are there any fees or costs beyond the monthly rent I should plan for?

Yes. Even when you find the right building, move-in and ongoing costs can still add up. Ask about deposits, any broker-related charges if applicable, and how utilities are handled so you can estimate your full monthly cost.

Does Openigloo show whether a building is well-maintained or has had recent issues?

Openigloo can help you spot patterns using renter-first context and open-data style signals, but it won’t replace asking the building directly. Use the signals to decide what questions to bring on tours.

Is this page limited to one neighborhood?

No. This is an NYC-wide page for matching buildings near the B44-SBS bus route and meeting the pre-war filter, so building streets may span multiple areas across the city.
