Are the ratings based on apartments or buildings?

Ratings here are for buildings. The Downtown Brooklyn snapshot shows an average of 4.1/5 across 54 rated buildings.

What should I verify with management even if the building matches the filters?

Confirm unit-specific details: floor plan, heating/hot water arrangement, elevator status, any restrictions (pets/smoking/guarantors), and the actual walk time to the nearest 5-train stop.

Does “pre-war” tell me the building condition is good or bad?

No. “Pre-war” is about construction era, not condition. Use the building notes and tenant Q&A if available, and ask the building directly about any current repairs or maintenance history.

Lease terms vary by building and unit. Treat the filter as a starting point, then confirm lease length, renewal terms, and move-in timing with the management team.
