What should I verify before applying to a pre-war building?

Confirm unit condition, maintenance process, and any building rules that affect day-to-day living (for example, how repairs are handled and any fee policies). Tenant Q&A is a good place to start, but still ask the building directly for the final details.

Does being near the C train guarantee a smooth commute?

No. “Near” depends on the tagged location. Check the specific stop(s) and estimate your walking time at the hours you’ll commute, then confirm with the building details.

What if the building details conflict with what I hear in a tour?

Treat the building’s direct answers as the source of truth. Use Openigloo signals and tenant Q&A to ask sharper questions, then get written or explicit confirmation during the application process.
