How should I use Openigloo reviews for pre-war buildings?

Look at rated buildings and tenant Q&A to spot patterns (like heating reliability or elevator concerns). Treat them as signals, not guarantees, and ask the building about current fixes, service schedules, and any open work.

Are there common lease or cost items I should verify beyond the asking rent?

Yes. Ask the building or the managing agent what’s included, what’s due at move-in, and what fees apply (for example, security deposit terms and any move-in charges). Always budget for the full monthly cost, not just the rent figure.
