Is the building rating the same as a unit’s condition?

No. Ratings reflect rated buildings’ reported experiences, but the specific unit’s condition can still vary. Use the rating as context, then check photos, building Q&A, and ask about current repairs and recent updates.

What should I ask the landlord or super before applying?

Ask about heating and ventilation, laundry access, pest-control expectations, noise from the street/bus line, and whether there are any building policies that affect move-in (e.g., package handling or visitor rules).

Are there any lease-cost details that often get missed?

Yes. Even when rent looks reasonable, confirm the full monthly cost and what’s included (utilities, fees, and any building-required charges). Also check deposit terms and when they’re returned under your lease.
