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

It means the building was built before 1947. Use this filter to focus your search on older building stock near the BX42 bus in Van Nest.

How does the “BX42 bus” filter work for these buildings?

It’s meant to include buildings near the BX42 route so you can concentrate on likely transit access. Still, check the exact stop location and your typical walking route.

Are these buildings required to be affordable or rent-regulated because they’re pre-war?

No. The pre-war filter is about construction era, not affordability or rent regulation. You’ll need to verify the building’s rent terms and lease details on the listing and with the landlord or management.

What should I ask about when touring a pre-war building?

Ask about heat/hot water reliability, elevator condition (if applicable), noise/ceiling condition, and pest prevention practices. Also clarify how maintenance requests are logged and how quickly issues get resolved.

Can the filters guarantee a specific commuting time or apartment condition?

No. Filters help you narrow options, but real-world walking routes, building condition, and unit finishes vary. Verify access, building upkeep, and unit-specific details directly with the building.
