How should I use the pre-war signal when I’m comparing buildings?

Treat it as a starting point. Pre-war buildings can vary a lot in renovations and maintenance, so prioritize what tenants report in Q&A and look for notes that repeat (heating, pests, noise, water issues) rather than relying on the age label alone.

Do Openigloo ratings and Q&A apply to every unit in the building?

They’re building-level signals, based on what renters reported. Individual units can differ (renovation level, exposure, condition), so confirm the specific unit details with the building before applying.

What should I ask the building about before signing?

Ask about heat/hot water reliability, pest prevention and any recent treatments, noise or street conditions for the specific unit, move-in timing, and the full list of costs due at move-in (not just monthly rent).

Is the 2-train proximity the same as a guaranteed walkable commute?

No. “Near” can still involve different walk times depending on where you enter the station and where your unit is located. Confirm the exact nearest station entrance and test the route at the time you’d commute.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?
