What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the SIM7 bus in East Village

  • Confirm the building’s current walk-up vs. elevator setup and any maintenance notes, since “pre-war” doesn’t tell you how a specific building runs today.
  • Check current availability on Openigloo and match it to your move window; an in-scope building may not have units advertised every day.
  • Verify lease terms that commonly affect affordability and timing: rent, renewal/renewal timing, security deposit, and whether there’s a broker fee for your apartment.
  • Ask how the building handles hot-water, heating, and pests during your viewing; older buildings can vary widely block by block.
  • Bring your own pet paperwork and questions (if applicable). A “pre-war” label doesn’t indicate policies, fees, or documentation requirements.
