Is “pre-war” the same as “rent-stabilized” or any other regulation category?

No. “Pre-war” refers to construction-era. Building regulations like rent stabilization or tenant protections depend on the building’s specific status, not on age alone.

What should I verify before signing a lease for an older building?
