Pre-war buildings near High School of Applied Communication in NYC

“Pre-war” means the building was built before 1947. This filter focuses on building age, not on apartment condition or renovation status.

It’s a location-based scope tied to the school area for this page. Use each building’s address and map view on Openigloo to confirm commute time and exact distance for your route.

Not necessarily. Openigloo’s building pages help you compare what’s on the market now, but availability can change by unit and by day—check each building’s current apartments for rent.

Ask about heating and hot water responsibility, window/insulation conditions, noise and street exposure, and how maintenance requests are handled. Pre-war stock can vary widely even within the same building age category.

No. Openigloo helps you organize research with reviews, Q&A, and open-data signals, but you should still confirm key terms (fees, deposits, utilities, and lease renewal language) directly with the building or its leasing office.

Renovations can affect what you experience day to day (layout, finishes, mechanical systems). The page filter is about building age, so evaluate the specific apartment and the unit-level condition shown in the listing and discussed in renter Q&A.

Start with each building’s reviews and tenant Q&A section, then use those threads as a checklist for questions on tour—especially around maintenance responsiveness, utilities, and day-to-day policies.
