What information does Openigloo provide to help me compare buildings here?

Openigloo combines building-level ratings (for rated buildings) with open-data signals and tenant Q&A, so you can spot recurring patterns and ask better questions during showings.

How should I use reviews for older, pre-war buildings?

Treat reviews and tenant Q&A as guidance, not a guarantee. Focus on recurring maintenance and management themes, then ask the current building directly about the specific apartment, recent repairs, and any ongoing issues.

Does “pre-war + transit proximity” tell me anything about lease terms?

No. The filter controls only the building age and location relative to the SIM1 bus. You still need to confirm lease length, move-in timing, and whether utilities or amenities have separate billing.
