What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the QM12 bus in Midtown

  • Confirm the building matches both filters: pre-war (built before 1947) and the commute fit for the QM12 bus route.
  • Use rated-building scores (3.8/5 across 43 rated buildings) as a starting point, then read tenant Q&A for issues that affect move-in.
  • Before signing, verify the full move-in cost beyond rent (e.g., broker fee, deposit, and any utilities) with the super/management.
  • Check practical details that vary by building, like laundry setup, package handling, and how quickly maintenance requests get scheduled.
