Pre-war buildings near the B48 bus in Brooklyn

“Pre-war” means the building was built before 1947, based on building records Openigloo uses for matching.

The filter is applied using the building’s location relative to B48 stops, so the building appears on this page when it’s close enough to be practical for that bus route. Still, verify the exact distance from the specific address.

No. This filter pair is about building age (pre-war) and location (near the B48). It’s not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not a Section 8 or housing-lottery program.

Start with heating and ventilation, window condition and drafts, plumbing/water pressure, and how repairs are handled. Use Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A for patterns, then ask the building directly for the unit you’d rent.

Yes, but use the feedback to guide your questions. Confirm whether the issues still apply, how quickly maintenance is addressed now, and whether there are any recent building upgrades that changed the day-to-day experience.

Not always. Building signals and Q&A reflect experiences that can vary by floor, exposure, and unit layout, so you should treat them as indicators and confirm details for the specific apartment.
