What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the BX19 bus in Washington Heights
- Confirm the exact walk time to the BX19 bus stops you use most, since “near” can vary block to block.
- Check whether the building’s pre-war details affect your commute, heat/water setup, and layout preferences (ask for the specific unit’s notes).
- Use the rated buildings score to shortlist, then open each building page for the practical details that aren’t captured by the score.
- Before signing, verify the full monthly cost (rent plus any required fees, utilities responsibilities, and deposits) and how they’re calculated for the specific lease term.
- If you rely on open-data signals, still ask the superintendent or leasing office about current conditions (repairs, pest control practices, and move-in readiness).
