What does the “pre-war” filter mean here?

It’s a building-age filter: pre-war buildings built before 1947. Use it as a shortlist, then confirm any recent renovations and current conditions with the building.

How does the “B train” part of the search work?

This page is scoped to the Lower East Side along the B-train corridor. Verify the exact walking route and entrance you’ll use, since “near” can mean different distances depending on the block.

What should I verify before applying or signing, since these are multi-filter buildings?

Confirm unit-specific details (laundry, heating setup, window condition, utilities, and any building rules), and ask about move-in timing, lease terms, and the full set of fees and deposits—not just the monthly rent.

Where do the building signals and “rated” information come from?

Openigloo compiles renter-focused context and signals available through building profiles, including information associated with rated buildings. Still, always ask the building/agent to confirm anything that matters for your unit.

Is the “rated buildings” count the same as the number of buildings on the page?
