Is the building quality based only on the rating shown?

No. The page includes a rating signal, but you should still read renter Q&A (when available) and ask the building management specific questions about current issues, maintenance timelines, and any planned work.

What should I ask about because these are older buildings?

Ask about heating and hot-water reliability, appliance condition (if included), pest-management practices, water pressure, and any recent major repairs or capital work that could affect tenants.
