What does “pre-war + 3 train” mean on this page?

“Pre-war” means the building was built before 1947. “3 train” means it’s in Brooklyn and located near stations on the 3 subway line, based on Openigloo’s building-to-transit matching.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

12,475+ Brooklyn buildings currently match the “3-train + pre-war” filter pair on Openigloo.

Are pre-war buildings required to have certain amenities or layouts?

No. Pre-war buildings can vary a lot by floorplan and systems. Use the building page to check unit features, photos, and tenant Q&A, then confirm details during your tour.

Does “pre-war” mean the building is free of issues like pests or maintenance problems?

No. Historical construction alone doesn’t guarantee condition. If you’re concerned about bedbugs/rodents or maintenance, ask the building directly and request the most recent documentation.

How can I use Openigloo to compare buildings beyond the asking rent?

Look at building-level notes, tenant Q&A, and what rated buildings indicate. Also compare the full move-in picture (deposit and any required fees), since costs can be more than the headline rent.

What should I ask before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about heating and hot water, recent repairs, water pressure, electrical capacity, window/insulation condition, and how maintenance requests are handled. Then confirm any shared-area or laundry details.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

Bushwick with 12,589+ buildings; Downtown Brooklyn with 3,920+ buildings; Stuyvesant Heights with 7,834+ buildings; Flatbush with 5,564+ buildings; Park Slope with 7,025+ buildings.
