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

It means the building was constructed before 1947. Use this as a starting point for expectations about layout and building systems, then ask what’s been renovated or upgraded.

How does Openigloo use data and feedback for these buildings?

You can use building-level signals and renter Q&A alongside the rated-building information on the site. Treat it as context, and still ask the building directly about anything mission-critical for your lease.

Are pre-war buildings guaranteed to have certain amenities or building conditions?

No. Pre-war is about age, not features or current condition. Ask for specifics on recent work, current maintenance response, and any known issues that affect daily life.

Which questions should I ask the building before applying?

Ask about lease terms and renewals, move-in requirements, deposits/fees, and rules that affect your move (timing, access to elevators, laundry, storage, and noise expectations). If the commute matters, confirm the route to the W train you’ll use.
