How does Openigloo help me compare these buildings?

Openigloo groups building signals and renter-first details in one place, including information tied to rated buildings and tenant Q&A. Use it to narrow options, then confirm the current facts with building management.

Are these building signals a substitute for asking the building directly?

No. Use Openigloo to shortlist, then ask for the current lease terms, fees, and maintenance/pest documentation relevant to the exact unit and move-in date.

What should I double-check before touring or applying to a pre-war building?

Ask how heating and hot water are maintained, what upgrades (if any) have been done, and what the building’s process is for repairs. Also verify any unit-specific conditions you care about (noise, airflow, bathroom/kitchen plumbing, and storage).

How do I avoid surprises with costs on older buildings?

Don’t focus on rent alone. Review what you’ll pay at move-in (deposit and any other required fees) and what utilities are included vs. billed separately, since total monthly cost can differ by unit.
