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

It indicates the building was built before 1947. Use the building details to confirm the specific year and related notes, since older buildings can have different systems and maintenance timelines.

How does the “near the C train” filter work?

It targets buildings within the page’s mapped area around the C line. Always confirm the walking time to the nearest stop from the actual address.

How many buildings are available in South Harlem under these filters?

Is a pre-war building still a good choice if systems are older?

It can be, but you should verify practical details: current heat and hot-water performance, laundry access, plumbing updates, and how maintenance requests are handled. Tenant Q&A can help you spot recurring patterns.

How should I use the building rating shown here?

Treat the rating as a quick signal, not the whole story. Look at the notes behind it and read the tenant Q&A for how issues show up in day-to-day living.

What questions should I ask before signing a lease in these buildings?

Ask about maintenance response time, any known building-wide issues, how move-ins are scheduled, what fees apply at renewal, and whether there are any restrictions tied to unit condition or access (laundry, storage, packages).
