How should I use the Openigloo rating here?

Use it to shortlist buildings, then verify in person. Older buildings can feel different by unit and floor, so don’t rely on rating alone for leasing decisions.

What should I ask about before applying in a pre-war building?

Ask about the unit’s heating and hot-water setup, elevator reliability, plumbing/electrical maintenance, laundry access, noise mitigation, and any known building-wide work (and whether it affects your move-in timeline).

Is proximity to the M42 bus enough to assume a certain commute time?

No. The bus is only one variable. Confirm the stops you’ll use and how service patterns affect your commute during the hours you plan to travel.

Where does Openigloo’s building information come from?

Some signals come from NYC public/open records and building pages, while tenant Q&A is contributed by renters. Always confirm current terms directly with the building’s contact.
