Do “rated buildings” and average rating tell me what my unit will be like?

They reflect how rated buildings have been discussed by renters, but individual apartments can differ. Use the rating as a starting point, then verify specifics (repairs, noise, utilities) in Q&A and with the leasing office during your tour.

What should I ask about in pre-war buildings before signing?

Common questions include recent renovations (if any), heat and hot-water performance, window condition/insulation, pest control procedures, and how maintenance requests are handled. Prioritize answers that explain how issues are resolved, not just whether they exist.

Can I rely on Openigloo signals alone to decide?
