What should I verify during a tour for a pre-war building?

Ask about building systems and maintenance (heat/hot water, plumbing, elevator reliability), current appliance conditions, and any known recurring issues. Pre-war doesn’t automatically mean problems, but it is worth drilling into responsiveness and upkeep.

Does “near the L train” guarantee a quiet apartment?

No. Train proximity can affect noise and vibration depending on the exact block and unit orientation. Use reviews/Q&A and ask the manager about noise levels for units facing the street or tracks.

How should I use Openigloo reviews and Q&A to avoid surprises?

Cross-check themes: if multiple renters mention similar issues (maintenance turnaround, pests, or communication), ask specific follow-ups. Don’t rely on one comment; compare patterns across the building’s signals.
