What should I verify for pre-war buildings before applying?

Confirm heating/cooling setup, elevator status (if any), water pressure, maintenance response time, and any recent capital work. Also ask what’s been updated versus what’s still original.

Does a building “near the 5 train” mean the exact commute time is the same for every unit?

No. Walking time can vary block by block and by entrance. Use the building page to confirm the nearest station and plan your typical route and time window.

Where does Openigloo data come from, and how should I use it?
