How should I use Openigloo ratings for West Harlem pre-war buildings?

Treat the rating as a building-level signal and cross-check it with tenant Q&A and what you see in person. On this page, West Harlem has 3.2/5 across 22 rated buildings.

What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Ask about elevator hours/reliability, heat/hot water performance, recent repairs, and how maintenance requests are tracked and resolved. Pre-war buildings can have older systems, so get specifics on what’s been updated and what’s still pending.

Are there any neighborhood or building data signals I should not assume from the filter?

Yes. Being near the M2 bus and being pre-war does not guarantee apartment condition, noise levels, or responsiveness. Confirm noise exposure, window quality, and current maintenance status directly with the building.
