No. The pre-war filter only covers construction-era. Building condition varies, so use Openigloo tenant Q&A and ask the management team directly about repairs, typical timelines, and recent work.

Confirm heating and hot-water behavior, elevator performance (if applicable), noise and insulation details, and how maintenance requests are handled. Also verify move-in fees and what’s included beyond rent.

Not necessarily. Pre-war buildings can have different amenity setups and management policies. Check each building page for the signals available and confirm details with the landlord or broker.

Openigloo combines building-level data signals with tenant Q&A and review inputs. Treat it as a starting point, then confirm key terms directly with the building during your application process.

You can compare what’s advertised per building, but the full monthly cost still matters. Always factor in deposits, broker/application fees, and utilities so you’re comparing true affordability, not just the asking rent.
