No. Pre-war describes build era, not unit quality, management style, or current amenities. Use the filter to start, then confirm essentials like elevator status, heat/water reliability, and maintenance response times.

Ask about recent major repairs, elevator uptime, how laundry access works, pest control processes, noise expectations, and the building’s move-in rules. Also request any fee schedule and what’s included in the monthly rent.

No. Use Openigloo to shortlist and prepare questions, then confirm details with the landlord or super. Current policies and conditions can change between the time a note was posted and your move-in date.

Not by itself. This filter focuses on construction era. If you need regulatory protections, add the relevant regulatory filter (for example, rent-stabilized) rather than relying on pre-war status.
