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

Verify practical details: heating/hot water performance, elevator reliability (if applicable), water pressure, and any recent major repairs. Also check unit-specific terms like lease start date, renewals, and what’s included in the rent.

Do the review signals on Openigloo replace checking the unit?

No. Reviews and tenant Q&A help you screen, but you should still tour the unit, ask the building staff direct questions, and review the lease in full before paying any fees.

Are there extra costs beyond the monthly asking rent?

Yes. Even when building search narrows your options, you should budget for the full move-in and ongoing costs (for example: deposits, broker/admin fees, and utilities if they’re not included).

Can conditions differ from what people report in the past?

Yes. Building maintenance and management can change over time. Treat open signals as guidance, then confirm current conditions during your tour and with the leasing office.
