Does this page guarantee availability of an apartment in every building?

No. The page shows eligible buildings based on filters; apartment availability can vary by building and time. Open each building page to see current options.

What should I confirm before scheduling a tour or signing a lease?

Confirm unit-level details (floor, layout, elevator access), current rent and any fees, how utilities are handled, and the lease start date and terms with the building directly.

Are Openigloo records or signals the same as on-the-ground conditions?

Not always. Open-data signals (where shown) can lag real-world changes. Use them as context, then confirm details with the building during your outreach and tour.

How should I use tenant Q&A on these building pages?

Look for recurring themes across multiple conversations (maintenance responsiveness, noise patterns, package handling). Treat one-off comments as context, not proof, and compare with what management tells you.

Are there any common “pre-war” issues I should look for?

Because pre-war buildings vary, focus on what applies to the specific building: maintenance history, heating/hot water reliability, pest-control practices, and whether the unit has been renovated or updated. Ask targeted questions and verify answers in writing when possible.
