Ratings are based on rated buildings and renter-reported signals, but they can’t replace an in-person (or virtual) walkthrough. Confirm the specific unit’s condition, noise level, and maintenance response with the leasing team.

Ask about recent renovations, heating and hot water performance, pests history and current prevention, window/insulation condition, and any upcoming work that could affect your apartment.

Openigloo combines building research signals with renter input so you can compare buildings with more context than photos alone. Still, verify key terms (fees, lease start date, utilities, and building rules) with the building.
