What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the M2 bus in West Harlem

  • Expect a mix of older building details common to pre-war buildings. Before touring, ask about elevator reliability, heat/hot water response times, and any ongoing façade or plumbing work.
  • Because this is transit-focused (M2 bus), check your exact stop and walk time at the hours you’ll commute. Street noise, cross-street lighting, and late-night access can vary block to block.
  • Use the Openigloo rated-building signals as a starting point, then verify unit-specific conditions during your showing (apartment layout, windows, water pressure, and current availability).
  • Review fee timing and move-in costs carefully (security deposit, broker fee if applicable, and any typical utility arrangements), even if the unit’s asking price looks reasonable.
  • If you’re applying soon, keep your paperwork ready and ask the building how long approvals take so you can line up keys for your desired move date.
