What to check before choosing a pre-war building near transit in Forest Hills

  • Confirm the exact walking time you’ll use (to your preferred subway/rail entrance) since “near transit” can vary by block and route.
  • Filter is for pre-war buildings, so ask about building systems and updates (elevators, plumbing, heat/hot water, insulation) and what’s been renovated recently.
  • Check lease terms and move-in costs beyond rent (security deposit, broker fee if applicable, and any required fees) before you commit.
  • Use the rated-building info on Openigloo as a starting point, then ask the building directly about current conditions that may have changed since the last Q&A.
  • If a unit is in a multi-building complex, verify which building and address you’re applying for—amenities and policies can differ.
