What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

Pre-war means the building was built before 1947. Use this as a starting point, then confirm the specific amenities and condition of the unit you’re considering.

How does “near the B70 bus” work?

It’s a location filter based on proximity to the B70 route. Still, check the real walk time from the building to the stop during your typical commute hours.

Are these buildings only along the B70 line?

They’re selected for being near the B70 bus in Kensington. Exact street blocks vary by building, so it’s worth validating the commute route from the specific address.

How can I use Openigloo before applying?

Start with rated buildings signals and any tenant Q&A. Then use those notes to ask targeted questions (repairs, noise, packages, heat/hot water, renewal expectations) before you sign.

What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Confirm unit-specific details (heating method, elevator operation if applicable, maintenance response times, and any building rules that affect daily life). Older stock can vary widely building to building.

Do tenant Q&A and ratings guarantee apartment condition?

No. Ratings and tenant Q&A are useful context, but conditions change. Confirm current status directly with management and request any needed documentation for the lease.
