Pre-war buildings near the B12 bus in Kensington

It means the building is categorized as constructed before 1947. Use that as a screening signal, then verify unit condition, mechanicals, and maintenance practices with the leasing office.

Openigloo groups buildings by proximity to the B12 route. You should still confirm the exact walk time and route options for your typical commute windows.

This page is filter-based (pre-war + B12-bus proximity). Availability can change, so open each building page and check for any currently advertised apartments for rent.

Confirm the unit’s current condition, how heating/hot water work in practice, and any building policies that affect move-in (laundry access, package handling, elevator/walk-up constraints, and required documentation).

The rating shown comes from rated buildings in the dataset, which may not map 1:1 to every unit. Still, review tenant Q&A and ask the building to address any questions specific to the apartment you’re considering.

If the building has open-data signals, they can lag real-world conditions. Treat them as leads, not guarantees, and ask the building directly about the current status and remediation practices.
