Pre-war buildings near the Q98 bus in NYC

Pre-war refers to buildings built before 1947. The page filters to buildings that match that construction date so you can focus on older-stock apartments for rent.

The scope is NYC, and the Q98 part of the filter narrows to buildings positioned close to the Q98 corridor. Before applying, confirm your walking route and timing for the specific stop(s) you plan to use.

Openigloo aggregates what renters report in rated buildings, plus building-level signals that are available to us. Use the info to compare buildings, then confirm specifics directly with the landlord or management.

No. Treat them as screening inputs. Older buildings can vary by unit and by how maintenance is managed, so confirm details like repair response time, recent upgrades, and how access to the unit works.

Common areas to confirm include plumbing and heating performance, water pressure, elevator reliability (if applicable), and pest-control practices. If you see recurring issues in tenant Q&A, ask management how they’re addressing them.

Ask about the full monthly cost and move-in requirements, including deposits, any mandatory fees, and whether utilities are separate. Also confirm whether there are additional charges for amenities or package handling.

Use Openigloo filters to focus your search, such as prioritizing buildings with available apartments. Still contact multiple buildings promptly, since inventory can change.
