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

It refers to older NYC residential buildings built before 1947, based on building records used for filtering. Still, maintenance quality varies by building, so confirm specifics directly with management.

What does “SIM6 bus” indicate for these buildings?

It means the building is flagged as near the SIM6 bus route in this Openigloo scope. You should still verify the exact stop(s) and realistic walking time from the unit.

How many buildings are currently eligible in Chinatown with these filters?

There are 93+ pre-war buildings near the SIM6 bus in Chinatown available to browse on Openigloo (as of 2026-07-07).

Are these reviews and ratings enough to decide before touring?

They’re a starting point, not a substitute for a tour and follow-up questions. Use Openigloo’s tenant Q&A themes to guide what to ask, then confirm details with the building.

Because these are pre-war buildings, what should I verify before I apply?

Ask about heating performance, hot water reliability, mold or moisture controls, elevator condition (if applicable), and pest-management practices. Older buildings can have great layouts, but you want current-condition answers in writing or in your tour notes.

Do I still need to check the full monthly cost, even after filtering?

Yes. Filtering helps you compare buildings, but the full monthly picture matters: deposits, any broker-related fees, and whether utilities are included can change your effective cost.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.
