What to check before for pre-war buildings near the BM1 bus in Chinatown

  • Expect older, pre-1947 building stock; confirm how heating, hot water, and any elevator access work for the exact unit you’re considering.
  • Use the BM1 bus proximity as a convenience check, but confirm the commute time with your target destinations and exact stop(s).
  • Before signing, confirm the lease start date, renewal terms, and any move-in requirements (documents, timing, and building rules).
  • If the building is rent-stabilized or subject to other regulations, ask how that affects rent changes and renewal—don’t rely on building age alone.
  • Cross-check what’s included in the rent (utilities, laundry access, storage) and what isn’t, since total monthly cost can differ from the asking rent.
