No. The filter helps you focus your search, but exact walking time depends on the apartment’s address, street-level access, and time of day. Verify the route during a site visit.

Not necessarily. Pre-war describes building age. Regulatory status depends on the unit and lease history, so you should ask the landlord or broker about the specific tenancy and renewal terms.

Confirm the exact lease terms, move-in costs (deposit/broker fee/any fees listed), utilities responsibilities, and whether any fees are due at application vs. lease signing. Also ask about building systems that matter most for day-to-day living (heat, hot water, elevators, maintenance response).

Building pages compile renter-first signals like reviews and tenant Q&A, plus open-data style indicators where available. Use these to shortlist, then confirm open items directly with the building or management.

They can lag real-world changes. Use Openigloo as a starting point, and verify with the landlord for the most current policy on repairs, building access, amenities, and any recent updates or issues.
