What to check before for pre-war buildings near the 5 train in Brooklyn Heights

  • Confirm commute fit: check walking time to the 5 train stops you’d use most, since “near” can still differ by block.
  • Verify the pre-war details directly with the landlord/super: ask what was renovated recently (lobby, plumbing, heat, windows) and what hasn’t been.
  • Screen for condition and costs: request the full monthly picture (utilities responsibilities, any recurring fees) in writing before applying.
  • Use Openigloo reviews and Q&A to identify recurring issues (noise, maintenance response, building policies) that may not be obvious in the listing photos.
  • If you’re sensitive to building layout, ask about elevators, stair-only access, laundry setup, and any accessibility constraints in the unit you want.
