What does 5,310+ buildings mean in practice?

It’s the live count of eligible buildings matching the page scope and filters (at least this many right now). You can then refine with other filters to match your budget, move-in timing, and deal-breakers.

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.

What costs should I expect besides the asking rent?

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.
