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

How does the Q18 bus filter work here?

It narrows the building set to those mapped near the Q18 bus route in Elmhurst, so your commute stays within the corridor you care about.

Are building ratings on Openigloo based on all buildings in Elmhurst?

No. This page’s Elmhurst snapshot shows 3.0/5 across 19 rated buildings, so rating coverage may not include every eligible building.

What should I verify before signing a lease in an older (pre-war) building?

Ask about heating/hot water reliability, elevator condition (if the building has one), insulation/drafts, and any planned capital work. Pre-war buildings can vary widely in how systems are maintained.

Do the open-data signals replace questions to the building management?

No. They’re useful screening signals, but your final call should come from direct answers during the tour and from any written disclosures provided for your specific unit.
