Pre-war buildings near the B47 bus in NYC

It means the building was built before 1947. The filter is about construction era, not about apartment interior condition or renovation status.

It’s a location filter tied to proximity to the B47 bus route. Because “near” can vary by building, confirm walking time and the exact stop(s) you’ll use when you plan your commute.

Openigloo brings together building-level details (including what’s currently available) plus tenant Q&A and review signals, so you can compare buildings more efficiently before touring.

They are a snapshot that can change. Always confirm current availability and unit specifics with the building or leasing office when you’re ready to apply.

Ask about elevator and common-area maintenance, heating/hot-water reliability, water pressure and plumbing condition, window/insulation issues, and any upcoming work that could affect your unit.

Don’t rely only on the asking rent. Confirm all required move-in costs (security deposit and any building/processing fees) and review the lease for utilities, renter responsibilities, and any non-standard charges.

Openigloo’s building pages include signals from tenants (reviews and Q&A) and structured building information. Use them to ask better questions, but confirm everything directly with the leasing office or super.
