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

It’s a building-vintage filter (built before 1947). Openigloo uses building details to group buildings by age so you can focus your search on older stock.

How should I use the B-train part of the filter?

Treat it as a location-by-transit shortcut. Confirm the nearest station entrances and walking routes for your exact unit/entry point before applying.

Does a pre-war building guarantee certain amenities or layout?

No. Older buildings can vary widely by floor, elevator access, and unit configuration. Use building pages and tenant Q&A to check what’s typical for that specific address.

Where do building ratings and renter Q&A come from?

Ratings are based on rated buildings in this neighborhood scope, and Q&A reflects renter questions and building-relevant details shared on Openigloo. Still, verify lease terms and policies with the building directly.

Are there any common issues to ask about in pre-war buildings?

Ask about heating reliability, water pressure, elevator maintenance (if applicable), window condition, and any known noise or construction impacts affecting day-to-day comfort.
