How does “near the Q16 bus” work for building matching?

Does the 437+ count mean every building has an available apartment right now?

No. This is the live count of buildings matching the pre-war + Q16 filters. Availability depends on which units are currently advertised.

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

Confirm unit-specific items (heat/hot water details, elevator access if applicable, laundry access), plus condition topics like ongoing repairs, pest prevention practices, and how maintenance requests are handled.

Are there extra costs I should budget for beyond the monthly rent?

Yes. Always ask about the full move-in cost: security deposit and broker fee if applicable, plus which utilities you’ll pay. The total monthly cost can differ even when asking rents look similar.
