What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the B train in South Harlem

  • Confirm your exact commute: the B train stop and walking time during typical hours can change block to block.
  • For pre-war buildings, ask about what’s been updated (elevator status, heating/hot water reliability, window conditions) versus what’s original.
  • Check the lease terms and move-in costs in writing (security deposit, broker fee if applicable, and any building fees).
  • If you’re using this page to narrow by building quality, sort by rated buildings and read recent notes to avoid relying on one-time feedback.
  • Before signing, ask for current documentation on any requested repairs or maintenance delays, especially in older buildings.
