Pre-war buildings near the B17 bus in Stuyvesant Heights

On Openigloo, “pre-war” refers to buildings built before 1947. That helps you compare properties with similar age-related considerations, like older systems and maintenance needs.

This page groups buildings that are selected based on proximity to the B17 bus. Use it to shorten your commute search, then verify walking time from the building to the specific stop you’d use most.

The current scope includes 37+ buildings.

Ask about how heat/hot water and other utilities are handled, request details on recent maintenance for key systems (plumbing/boilers, and elevators if present), and confirm the lease terms that apply to the exact unit you want.

Ratings are a helpful signal, but they are not a substitute for unit-by-unit due diligence. Use them alongside open-record details and direct questions to the landlord for the most current information.

Openigloo combines building-relevant signals (including rated-building information when available) with open-data style signals and what renters share. Still, always confirm the latest conditions directly with the building management.
