What to check before for pre-war buildings near the B8 bus in Kensington

  • Confirm the building is actually pre-war (built before 1947) and that the unit you want matches the same building-level information shown on Openigloo.
  • Use the “near the B8 bus” filter to prioritize commute time, then double-check the exact block, cross streets, and walking time in person.
  • Ask about move-in costs beyond rent (deposit and any required fees) and request a written estimate before applying.
  • If the building is rent-stabilized or has rent-regulated units, confirm renewal and increase terms in the lease paperwork, not just in conversation.
  • For older buildings, inspect for practical basics at the unit level (heat/hot water performance, mold/moisture signs, outlets/fixtures condition).
  • When you contact the building, ask what’s changing for your intended move date (availability, maintenance schedule, and any pending repairs).
