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

It refers to buildings built before 1947. The page uses that building age filter to group older housing stock near the BX13 bus.

How does “near the BX13 bus” work?

It’s a location filter that targets buildings along the BX13 bus corridor. The exact distance/coverage is determined by Openigloo’s mapping for the route.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

Openigloo currently shows 3,626+ buildings for the bx13-bus + pre-war filter pair.

Are Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A enough to judge a building’s condition?

They’re a strong starting point, but they’re not a substitute for your own checks. Use them to flag themes, then verify details (repairs, response times, rules) directly with the building.

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

Confirm the unit’s current condition, the scope/timing of any promised repairs, heat and hot-water reliability, and pest-control practices. Also ask about how maintenance requests are handled day-to-day.

Do the filters cover fees or move-in costs?

No filter replaces cost review. Even with a building that matches your criteria, you still need to total the full move-in cost (deposit and any broker/application fees) and review the lease terms carefully.

Can a building on this list still have unit-by-unit differences?

Yes. Building-level filters narrow your search, but renovations, layout, and maintenance can vary by unit. Always confirm details for the specific apartment you’re considering.
