Do the reviews or Openigloo signals replace what the building will tell me?

No. Use Openigloo to spot patterns (like maintenance responsiveness or building operations), then confirm specifics with the current management for the exact unit and lease you’re considering.

What should I ask about lease terms in a pre-war building?

Ask for renewal terms, any rent-increase expectations, and the move-in requirements (application steps, documentation, deposits). Also ask about maintenance timelines for issues that come up during inspection or during move-in.

How do I confirm that a building is truly a good fit for my commute?

Check the route from the building’s exact address to your destination and not just the general neighborhood. If you rely on specific stations/exits, verify the walk time at the times you’d typically travel.
