Does “pre-war” tell me anything about building conditions or maintenance?

It mainly describes age. Use the building profile signals and tenant Q&A to confirm practical details (maintenance responsiveness, elevator reliability, hot water, pests, and other day-to-day issues) before signing.

What should I verify before applying, especially for an older building?

Verify move-in logistics (available dates, application requirements, deposit amounts), check laundry and utilities setup, and ask how repairs are handled. For older buildings, these details often matter more than the general building description.

Are Openigloo ratings a guarantee about how a building will feel day-to-day?

No. Ratings are based on rated buildings and are best used as one signal. Tenant Q&A and your own questions to the super/management are what you’ll rely on when deciding.
