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

It filters for buildings constructed before 1947. Use the building details and questions in the app to confirm what applies to the specific property you’re considering.

How does the “QM21 bus” filter work here?

It narrows results to buildings in the QM21 corridor area so you can search by commute route. Still, verify the nearest stop(s) and walking route for the unit you want.

Are these pre-war buildings also likely to have elevator and heating in good working order?

Some do, but it varies by building and even by wing or period of updates. Check the specific building notes, and ask the super or management about elevator downtime history and heating performance.

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

Confirm heating/hot-water arrangements, any known maintenance issues, laundry access, pest-control practices, and the building’s process for move-in and keys. Ask about unit-specific details where possible.

Do renter reviews and Q&A replace what the landlord says?

No. Treat reviews and Q&A as context for questions to ask. Always verify policies, fees, and repair timelines directly with the building or management office.

Does this page guarantee the availability of apartments right now?

No. The page is scoped to building matches for “pre-war” and the QM21 corridor, but availability can change. Use the building’s current advertisements and contact details to confirm.
