How does Openigloo decide which buildings are “rated”?

The neighborhood stats show an average building rating across 87 rated buildings. Ratings reflect what renters report; use them alongside the specific building page details, not as a substitute for questions to the landlord.

Are pre-war buildings always better or worse than newer buildings?

They’re a different tradeoff. Older buildings can have charming layouts, but maintenance quality varies building to building. Confirm the current state of systems and recent repairs with the building directly.

What should I ask about before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about heating and hot water performance, elevator reliability (if applicable), pest-control practices, repair response times, and any move-in documentation rules.

Does the M116 bus filter guarantee a short walk or exact commute time?

No. It’s a corridor-based filter. You should still check the building’s exact address and walk time at typical hours.
