What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

“Pre-war” refers to buildings built before 1947. Use this filter to find older housing stock near the M train corridor.

How should I use the M-train filter if I’m commuting regularly?

Treat it as a location starting point for viewings. Double-check the walk time from the building to your usual station entrance and how service changes affect your route.

Does this page guarantee the building is in good condition?

No. The filters only describe building age and location. Use Openigloo tenant Q&A, building scores, and any posted notes to guide follow-up questions, then confirm directly with the super/management.

What should I ask about before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about recent and planned maintenance (elevator, heat/hot water, plumbing, windows), utility responsibilities, noise/ventilation, and any rules that could affect daily routines.

Are there restrictions or extra costs I might see in these buildings?

Possibly. Even for similar apartment sizes, policies and costs can differ. Confirm application/admin fees, security deposit, and any building-specific rules (packages, pets, storage) before committing.

Where does the information on Openigloo come from?

Openigloo combines renter-contributed signals (like tenant Q&A) with building-level information surfaced on the platform. For anything critical, verify with the building management before you sign.

How can I narrow options quickly if I’m new to the M train area?

Start by shortlisting a few buildings and requesting viewings for the exact unit layout you want. Use Openigloo comparisons to spot patterns (maintenance notes, recurring questions) and bring those questions to your tour.
