What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the Z train in Chinatown
- Expect older building construction: ask about recent building systems, elevator conditions (if any), and how maintenance requests are handled.
- Confirm the exact commute: look up the closest Z stop and walking time for the time of day you plan to travel.
- Use the rated buildings on Openigloo as a starting point, but verify current conditions and policies with the super or leasing office.
- Before signing, review move-in costs (deposit, fees) and your lease terms, including renewals, rent adjustments, and any required documentation.
- For pre-war buildings, ask about bedbug/rodent prevention practices and when the last professional treatment occurred, since open records and reports may not reflect what’s happening today.
