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?

Ask about elevator reliability, heat and hot water delivery, window/insulation conditions, and maintenance history. Pre-war buildings can have older infrastructure even if they’ve been renovated.
