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

It refers to buildings built before 1947. In practice, that can influence layout, ceiling heights, and how updates were handled over time.

What does “near the 1 train” mean here?

The filter is tied to the 1 train corridor in Manhattan. Still, distance is unit- and block-dependent, so confirm the walk time to the station you’ll use most.

How does Openigloo help me compare these buildings?

Openigloo compiles building research signals plus renter-first content such as Openigloo review insights and tenant Q&A, so you can spot recurring issues and questions before touring.

Do these filters guarantee building quality or a specific apartment condition?

No. The filter narrows by age and location. Apartment condition, renovations, and landlord practices vary by building and even by unit, so verify directly.

What should I ask before signing a lease in an older building?

Confirm heat/hot water details, elevator reliability (if the building has one), plumbing and water pressure, noise/venting from nearby streets, and any planned work that could affect the unit.

Which move-in costs should I budget for besides the asking rent?

Plan for the full monthly and move-in cost picture, including required fees and deposits, plus potential utilities or other recurring charges depending on the apartment.
