How does Openigloo use ratings and tenant Q&A here?

You can use rated buildings (with an average score) plus written review themes and tenant Q&A to flag patterns you should verify with the building directly.

Does “pre-war” mean the building is always in good condition?

No. “Pre-war” is about age, not condition. Treat it as a prompt to ask targeted questions about maintenance, updates, and current building systems during your tour.

Where do the signals come from for older buildings?

Some signals come from open-data and reported information tied to the building. Those can be incomplete or behind real-world conditions, so confirm details directly with the building before committing to a lease.
