How does Openigloo help me evaluate these buildings?

You can compare building-level information, read renter reviews for context on day-to-day living, and search renter Q&A for issues that come up repeatedly. Then you can ask the building the exact follow-up questions you care about.

Are there extra costs I should expect beyond the monthly rent?

Yes. Building fees can include deposits and application-related costs, and utilities may be separate depending on the unit. Confirm the full monthly cost and all upfront charges with the building before signing.

What should I check before applying to a pre-war building?

Ask about maintenance history and current capacity for heat/hot water, pest-control routines, and whether there are recent upgrades (plumbing/electrical) or known recurring problems.

Why do buildings in the same area feel different from each other?

Even near the same bus corridor, building management and unit conditions can vary. Reviews and Q&A help you separate “building type” from “building behavior,” so you can focus on what actually matters for your move.
