How do I use ratings and signals on Openigloo without over-relying on them?

Use rated building information to compare across buildings, then read the details and follow up with the building directly on anything that affects your unit (repairs, utilities, laundry, noise, and lease terms).

What should I ask before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about elevator operation (if applicable), heat/water reliability, pest control practices, insulation/noise, and the most recent timeline for any major repairs. If the building is listed with specific rules (like pets), confirm the exact policy for your situation.

Is there anything about the B-train commute I should double-check?
