Are building reviews on Openigloo enough to judge a pre-war building?

They help, but they’re not a substitute for direct confirmation. Use them to identify patterns, then ask the building management specific questions about the issues you see mentioned.

What should I check before signing a lease for a pre-war building?

Ask about heat/hot water performance, elevator reliability, recent repairs, and pest-control practices. Also confirm how maintenance requests are handled and typical response times.

Fees and requirements vary by building and unit. Plan for the full monthly and move-in picture, including security deposit, move-in charges, and any documentation requirements.

Can I use this page to find apartments available right now?

Yes—use Openigloo filters to narrow to buildings with available apartments if you want current availability, and then compare unit-level details once you find a match.
