What does “pre-war” mean on Openigloo?

It refers to building age: the filter includes buildings built before 1947. You can then compare layouts, services, and reported conditions for apartments for rent within that age range.

How does the “near the M21 bus” part of the filter work?

It narrows the Manhattan building scope to places positioned around the M21 bus corridor, so your search stays commute-oriented while you compare pre-war options. Check the building’s map and address details on the listing page before touring.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 2,393+ buildings currently shown for this Manhattan scope and the combined “m21-bus + pre-war” filters.

What should I confirm with the building before applying?

Ask about the specific unit’s lease start date, heat/hot-water setup, utility responsibility, and any move-in fees or deposit amounts. If there are building rules (amenities, laundry, pets), confirm them for that exact unit.

Does “pre-war” tell me anything about building condition or maintenance?

Not by itself. Use the building page for renter Q&A and review signals, and ask management about recent repairs, elevator status, pest-control processes, and how maintenance requests are handled.

Are there any regulatory or fee cautions I should keep in mind?

Yes. Filter-based pages don’t replace tenant-landlord paperwork checks. Make sure the lease terms are consistent with what’s advertised, and confirm the full move-in cost and monthly costs (including deposits, utilities, and any required fees).
