Are the building signals on Openigloo guarantees about day-to-day conditions?

No. Reviews, open-data signals, and Q&A are helpful indicators, but conditions can change. For anything critical (repairs, pests, noise, access), ask for current documentation or direct updates from the building.

What should I ask about in a pre-war building before I sign?

Ask about heating performance, elevator status (if applicable), hot water delivery, soundproofing/noise expectations, appliance age, and any planned capital work or recurring repair items.

If a building shows compliance or maintenance signals, how should I use that information?

Use it as a prompt for follow-ups. Data from public records can lag real-world conditions, so ask what changed recently, who handled it, and whether similar issues are currently active.

How do I compare buildings without relying only on rent?

Compare total move-in and monthly costs (deposit, broker fee if applicable, utilities, mandatory fees) and use reviews/Q&A to gauge management responsiveness and consistency across time, not just at move-in.
