Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Pre-war means the building was built before 1947. This filter narrows your search by construction era, which can influence layout, renovation history, and building systems.

Question 2

How do you define “near the Q19 bus”?

Accepted Answer

This page groups buildings based on their proximity to the Q19 route. Use the map and building location details on Openigloo to sanity-check walking time from the specific stop(s) you’ll use.

Question 3

Are these buildings in one area of NYC?

Accepted Answer

No. The scope is NYC-wide, so results can appear across neighborhoods where buildings meet both the pre-war and Q19 proximity filters.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Confirm heating and hot water setup, ventilation, any known building issues, and what renovations (if any) were completed. Also ask whether there are current plans for upgrades that could affect daily living or fees.

Question 5

Will Openigloo’s data replace asking the leasing office questions?

Accepted Answer

No. Openigloo can help you spot patterns via reviews and tenant Q&A, but policies and unit-specific terms change. Always ask the building directly for the current rent, fees, deposit, and move-in timeline.

Question 6

Do I need to worry about commute assumptions when using the Q19 filter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Real commute time depends on where you enter/exit, transfer needs, and walking distance. Treat the Q19 filter as a starting point, then confirm your exact route and time window.

Question 7

Why might two “near the Q19 bus” buildings feel different during the week?

Accepted Answer

Even when buildings match the same route proximity, the walking distance to specific stops, schedule timing, and building entrance access can differ. Use the building address and map view to compare the practical commute, not just the filter label.
