What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the B16 bus in Kensington

  • Expect older construction: on pre-war buildings, verify heat/hot water setup, recent repairs, and whether any elevator, mold, or pest issues have ongoing patterns.
  • Use the B16 bus proximity as a starting point: confirm your exact commute time and whether the stop near the building is convenient for your schedule.
  • Review what matters for your lease in person: ask about rent-change history (if applicable), lease terms, move-in timing, and any building-wide rules that affect day-to-day living.
  • If you have a pet, don’t assume policies from the filter—confirm fees, limits, and documentation requirements directly with the building.
  • Cross-check the Openigloo signals with what you see: ask about building maintenance and current conditions, not just how units look in photos.
