You can review building pages that aggregate tenant Q&A and open-data signals, and you can see rating context from rated buildings. Use those details to decide what to confirm directly with the building.

Can I rely only on the filter without checking with the building?

No. The filter only helps narrow the search. You should confirm lease terms, fees, and any building-specific policies with the landlord or management.

How should I use the tenant Q&A section when comparing buildings?

Treat it as practical context. Look for repeated themes (management responsiveness, noise, building maintenance, rules around packages) and then ask follow-up questions during your tour.
