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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
