What should I verify with the building manager before applying?

Ask about building maintenance history, heating/hot water performance, elevator status (if applicable), window condition, and any upcoming work that could affect access or noise during your lease term.

Does the “pre-war” filter tell me everything I need to know about building conditions?

It helps you narrow by age, but it does not guarantee the current condition. Use the rated building signals and tenant Q&A to identify patterns, then confirm details directly with the building.

What if I have questions about transit noise or street conditions?

Don’t rely on distance alone. Ask the building about street exposure, window upgrades, and typical noise at the times you would commute and return.

How do I use Openigloo to shortlist the right buildings?

Start with the two filters, then compare building-level notes and tenant Q&A. Use that shortlist to prepare a tight question list for showings and to request lease terms and move-in costs in writing.
