Pre-war buildings near Edward R. Murrow High School in NYC

It’s the building-construction filter for buildings built before 1947. Use it to target older NYC building stock, then confirm the unit’s specific condition and systems during a tour.

This page combines the pre-war filter with the Edward R. Murrow High School area scope used by Openigloo. Use the map in the explorer to verify the walking/commute distance for each building.

Start with the filters (pre-war + the school area), then compare building-level signals and read tenant Q&A. Focus your questions on the items you’ll verify on-site: systems, maintenance response, and what’s included in the lease.

They help, but they aren’t a substitute for a live walkthrough. Older buildings can have unit-to-unit differences, so bring a checklist and ask about recent repairs, work orders, and how quickly issues get handled.

Confirm the renewal terms, the schedule for rent changes, and any restrictions tied to the specific apartment. Also verify what’s included (laundry/storage, utilities, and services) so your monthly budget matches reality.

Fees vary by building and unit, but you should ask about broker fees (if applicable), deposits, move-in charges, and utility billing. Don’t rely on assumptions from other buildings in the area.

They’re useful context, but real-world conditions can change. Use Openigloo signals and Q&A as a starting point, then confirm current operations and maintenance practices with the building directly.
