What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the B train in West Harlem

  • Confirm the exact walk time to the nearest B stop from the building address, since “near” can vary by block.
  • Verify pre-war specifics during the visit or in writing: elevator reliability, insulation/drafts, and any announced modernization plans.
  • Filter for what matters beyond the building: available units right now, pet policies (if applicable), and whether leases are rent-stabilized or offer other protections.
  • Check building operations and costs upfront: security deposit, move-in fees, and recurring charges that aren’t always included in the asking rent.
  • Cross-check ratings: Openigloo shows an average of 3.2/5 across 22 rated buildings, so read the spread and recent notes rather than relying on the average alone.
