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

It refers to buildings constructed before 1947. The page filters to that building age category so you can compare similar-era construction and amenities.

How is “near the BX35 bus” determined?

Openigloo uses the BX35 route to scope the building search area. Still, verify the walk time from the exact building entrance to your usual stop.

How can Openigloo help me decide which buildings to tour?

You can compare rated buildings data, read tenant Q&A, and review open-data signals to understand common issues to ask about before you spend time touring.

Are pre-war buildings always cheaper or more affordable?

Not necessarily. “Pre-war” only describes construction era, not price level or affordability status. Check the asking rent and the total monthly cost before applying.

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

Ask about heating and hot water, laundry access, elevator reliability (if applicable), pest control procedures, and any scheduled building work that could affect your unit.

What fees or costs can be easy to miss?

Request a written breakdown of the full move-in and monthly costs: deposits, broker fees (if applicable), utility responsibilities, and any recurring building fees.

Does tenant Q&A replace a super or leasing office conversation?

No. Use tenant Q&A as a starting point, then confirm details directly with the building since policies, maintenance, and unit-level conditions can change.
