What does the “4-train” filter mean on this page?

It’s focused on buildings located near the 4 subway line in Manhattan, so your shortlist stays within the 4 train corridor rather than the entire borough.

What counts as “pre-war” here?

Pre-war means the building was built before 1947. This is the eligibility criterion used for the filter pair.

How many buildings match both filters in Manhattan right now?

4,524+ buildings match the combination of pre-war and near the 4 train on this page as of 2026-07-07.

Are Openigloo’s signals the same as what the building will tell me?

No. Openigloo’s building-level information (including review summaries and open-data signals where applicable) helps you compare, but you should still confirm the current details with the leasing office—availability, costs, repairs, and any building policies.

Do pre-war buildings have higher maintenance or system risks?

They can. Building age may affect heating, plumbing, and updates. Ask targeted questions about current system condition, recent repairs, and planned maintenance to avoid surprises.

What should I verify before committing to a pre-war building near transit?

Confirm lease terms and renewal language, ask about maintenance response, and verify building policies that affect your move-in (deliveries, elevator scheduling, keys/lock procedures). Transit access can also vary by exact station—walk the route you’ll use.
