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

It groups buildings based on proximity to the W train. Treat it as a starting point and confirm the walk time and street-level access for the unit you’re considering.

Are these buildings rent-regulated or guaranteed to have rent protections?

No. This page is about age (pre-war) and location relative to the W train. Regulatory status varies by building; you’ll need to confirm the unit’s specific protections and lease terms.

What should I ask the building before signing for a pre-war unit?

Ask about recent upgrades (elevator, plumbing/HVAC, windows), any known maintenance issues, water pressure, and how repairs are handled. Pre-war buildings can differ a lot even when they’re both “pre-war.”

Do Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A reflect current building conditions?

They’re helpful signals, but conditions can change. Use the Q&A to identify questions, then verify details (fees, maintenance timelines, noise) directly with the building.

How should I compare costs beyond the monthly rent?

Compare the full expected move-in and ongoing costs for each unit, including any required deposits or fees. Also ask about utility responsibility, since older buildings can have different setups.
