How does Openigloo decide what’s “pre-war” and what’s “near the 5 train”?

Openigloo uses building data to tag construction era and neighborhood/transit proximity at the building level. You should still verify specifics with the building for your exact address and commute timing.

What should I confirm before applying for an apartment in a pre-war building?

Confirm the current fee schedule and what’s included in the full monthly cost (utilities, storage, move-in fees), plus the building’s practical policies (maintenance response, pest-control processes, and any access rules).

Is a higher building rating a guarantee that a unit will work for me?

No. Building-level ratings reflect rated buildings overall, but individual units and experiences can differ. Use tenant Q&A and ask direct questions about the specific unit you’re considering.

Are the transit and commute signals enough to judge the neighborhood day-to-day?

They help narrow the search, but commute quality depends on your exact stop, walking routes, and schedule. Use the map/details on each building page to sanity-check your typical commute.
