What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

It refers to buildings built before 1947. This filter is about construction era, not rent regulation or subsidies.

How does the “near the Z train” filter work?

It narrows results to the Manhattan area around the Z subway line so your commute can stay manageable. Still, walking time depends on the exact stop entrance and your building’s block.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

2,071+ Manhattan buildings currently match the pre-war + Z-train criteria on Openigloo.

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

Ask about elevator uptime, heat and hot water consistency, any recent building work (roof/plumbing), and whether maintenance requests are handled promptly.

Are there fees beyond the advertised rent I should plan for?

Yes. Even when you find a unit you like, confirm the full move-in cost with the building or broker, including any security deposit, move-in fees, and what utilities are billed separately.

Can tenant Q&A and reviews tell me if a building is right for my unit?

They can help you spot patterns, but details vary by unit and time. Use them to form targeted questions, then confirm the situation for your specific apartment with management.
