No. “Pre-war” is about building age (before 1947), not about income limits, subsidies, or housing-lottery participation.

Confirm the unit’s current condition (heating/hot water performance, repairs in progress), who pays which utilities, and any move-in costs (security deposit and any building or management fees). Also ask about building rules that affect daily life (laundry, storage, packages, noise/entry access).

Use the address details on each building page to check your walk and transfer time during the hours you’ll actually travel. Don’t rely only on route names—confirm the closest stop from the entry you’d use.

Openigloo aggregates renter-first information from building pages and tenant Q&A so you can compare buildings more efficiently. Use it to guide questions, then verify lease terms directly with the building management.
