What does “M14D-SBS bus” mean on this page?

It filters buildings by proximity to routes served by the M14D-SBS corridor, so you can focus your search around that commute option. Still confirm the closest stop and walk time for the specific building entrance you’re considering.

What does “pre-war” cover here?

Pre-war means the building was constructed before 1947. Use this as a starting point, then ask the building about current systems (heat/hot water), updates, and how the unit’s condition compares to building-wide maintenance.

How many buildings match these filters on Openigloo right now?

There are 370+ buildings on this page that match both the M14D-SBS bus proximity filter and the pre-war filter as of 2026-07-07.

Is the rating the same as what I’ll experience in my unit?

No. The 3.4/5 figure is an average across 179 rated buildings. Use it to compare options, then validate details with the specific building and unit before you apply.

What should I check before signing a lease for a pre-war building?

Ask what’s included in the monthly cost (including utilities), confirm how maintenance requests are handled, and verify any unit-level details like heating, hot water, and noise considerations. Condition and policies can vary by building and even by floor or layout.

Do I need to pay more than the asking rent for these buildings?

Often, yes. Even when you find an asking rent you can afford, the full monthly cost may be higher once you factor in broker fees, required deposits, and utilities the tenant pays.

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.
