What does the “pre-war” filter mean on this page?

It’s a building-age filter for structures built before 1947. Use it to narrow the search, then confirm what that means for the specific building you’re considering (layouts, amenities, and any known maintenance issues).

How should I interpret “near the M103 bus” for commuting?

It indicates proximity to the M103 bus corridor. Distances and schedules still matter, so confirm the walk from the exact building entrance and check the routes/timing that fit your commute.

Are these buildings rent-stabilized or subject to tenant protections?

This page is scoped to m103-bus + pre-war, not to a regulatory category like rent-stabilized or good cause. If you need regulatory protections, apply those filters separately or ask the building about current status and renewal practices.

Where does the rating information come from?

Openigloo’s rating is based on rated buildings in this scope. Use it as a comparison tool, but also read the underlying Q&A and verify unit-specific details directly with the building.

What should I verify before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Confirm the full move-in cost (deposit and any required fees), utilities responsibilities, laundry setup, and any rules that affect day-to-day living. Also ask about maintenance history and what updates have been made, since pre-war buildings can vary widely.

Do open-data signals replace talking to the building?

No. Openigloo signals help you shortlist buildings, but the building can confirm current policies, availability, and conditions that may not be reflected in the dataset.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.
