Is “near the L train” a guarantee of commute time?

No. The filter is about location/proximity, but commute time depends on the specific address, walking route, and waiting conditions. Always verify the walk and transit plan for the unit you’re considering.

What should I check for pre-war buildings before signing?

Ask about elevator operation (if applicable), heat and hot water arrangements, any planned building work, and whether there are known issues with pests or maintenance. Pre-war buildings can vary a lot even within the same neighborhood.

Do open-data signals replace calling the building?
