Pre-war buildings near the X38 bus in Gramercy Park

“Pre-war” refers to buildings constructed before 1947. Use this as a proxy for building age and layout expectations, then confirm the building’s current condition and recent upgrades with management.

This filter targets buildings located close to the X38 route. Still, walk-check the route from the building entrance at the times you’d commute and confirm the closest stop(s) so your daily trip matches your plan.

Openigloo surfaces rated-building scores and the questions renters ask about practical issues. Treat these as signals, then confirm specifics (availability, repairs, rules) directly with the building before moving forward.

The score applies to rated buildings, not to each individual unit. Building conditions can vary by floor and exposure, so ask about the specific unit’s heating, plumbing, and any recent issues.

Ask about maintenance history and current timelines for repairs, elevator reliability, pest-control practices, and how heat/hot water are handled. Also confirm move-in requirements, schedules, and whether there are any restrictions on flooring, painting, or furniture.

This page does not filter by rent-regulation status. You’ll need to confirm with the building and in your lease paperwork whether the unit is rent-stabilized or subject to any tenant-protection framework.
