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

Pre-war means the building is built before 1947. It’s a building-age filter, not a quality score, and conditions can vary even within the same age band.

How does the “SIM22 bus” part work for this buildings page?

The page is scoped to buildings near the SIM22 bus coverage area in Manhattan. Use it to narrow options, then confirm your exact route timing with current service and stops.

Do these filters guarantee anything about renovations, amenities, or rent level?

No. Pre-war and SIM22 proximity only define eligibility for this page. Amenities, upgrades, and asking rents differ by building, so you should review unit details and ask the building directly.

What should I confirm with the building before signing, since these are older buildings?

Ask about maintenance response, any active work orders, and practical items like heat, hot water, water pressure, pest prevention procedures, and common-area condition. For in-unit questions, confirm access to inspections or disclosures where available.

Is the building data on Openigloo enough to rely on for decision-making?

Openigloo combines renter-first signals with building details, but it’s not a substitute for direct communication. Use it to shortlist, then verify key terms (lease length, fees, utilities, and rules) with the building or its leasing office.
